Welcome!

We would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle and Bellevue, the Duwamish People and the Snoqualmie People, past and present and we honor with gratitude the land itself and The Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes.

Welcome to International Education Week! International Education and Global Initiatives (IEGI) at BC will be hosting a variety of virtual events, during the week of November 14th – 18th that will allow you to engage with others in the BC community and help you learn more about different cultures around the world.  Check out our schedule of virtual events here and other contents below!

Welcome from Interim President Gary Locke:

Let’s see what International Education means to IEGI staff and students: A digital welcome from the XR Lab at BC:

“International Education means an opportunity that widens my perspectives by meeting and learning from the beautiful people around the world. As a person who grew up in a rural part of Japan and spoke no English, I am very grateful for the opportunity to have studied in the U.S. Had I not been given the chance, I probably would never have gotten to know our great students, leaders, and colleagues at Bellevue College!”

Kazumi Hada – Director of international Education
