Scheduled on the week of Valentine’s Day each year, “I Heart Travel Week,” from Kent State’s Office of Global Education (OGE) has become a university tradition. The week celebrates Kent State students who have studied abroad or are currently studying abroad and offers informative events for students who are interested in international study.
About 1,500 Kent State students study abroad each year.
More than 20 events and activities scheduled for the week include the Education Abroad Expo; information sessions about studying in Florence, Spain and Ghana; an Education Abroad “Love is Blind” trivia game; several study abroad-focused financial aid events; a week-long immersive exhibit in the DI Hub’s Blank_Lab; a pizza party; an Instagram photo contest; and even an exploration of how Star Wars’ “The Mandalorian” can teach lessons of intercultural competency.
