More than 55 international flags were recently raised in the eerily empty Compton Union Building to honor and acknowledge Washington State University’s international community.
International students, scholars and their families on and off campus persevered during a year marked by a flurry of punitive U.S. immigration policies, the inability to travel internationally and the need to distance from others.
To honor the international community, which is currently spread around the world, members of WSU’s International Students’ Council are hosting a virtual International Education Week April 5 through 9 and have dedicated it to WSU’s students everywhere.

When Kelly Newlon joined WSU’s Office of International Programs as director of Global Learning in December 2019, no one could foresee her scramble less than three months later to direct 300 students studying abroad to return home immediately from multiple countries.
Nor could anyone predict international travel – and global learning – would be shut down for more than a year.
Determined not to be “dream crushers,” Newlon and the Global Learning team worked together virtually for months to bring the world to students stuck at home.
“We wanted to create a program where our grounded students could learn and thrive without being able to travel.”
