    International Education Week, November 14-18, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.

China: Dragon or Dinosaur
Lecture by Richard L. Smith, Ph.D.
Professor of History
followed by a reception featuring Chinese hors d’ oeuvres

    As part of the events scheduled for International Education Week at Ferrum College, the film Raise the Red Lantern will be shown at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, November 15 in the library AV auditorium.

    Raise the Red Lantern, filmed in China in 1991, has been called “sublimely beautiful and disturbing.” Critic James Beradinelli considers it a film, “capable of enthralling audience members while they’re watching it, then haunting them for hours (or days) thereafter.”

    For more information, contact Bettye Buckingham, Ferrum’s director of multicultural education, at 365-4352.

    Sponsored by Office of International Programs and Office of Multicultural Education.

     Ferrum College is a four-year, private, co-educational, liberal arts college affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Ferrum offers a choice of nationally recognized bachelor’s degree programs at a cost well below the national average for private colleges. For more information on Ferrum, visit www.ferrum.edu.
