UK Libraries marks International Education Week

Students gathered for International Game Day
In celebration of International Education Week (November 17 - 21), UK Libraries hosted two events designed to promote engagement with international education.

The first, a vexillology (the study of flags) challenge asked participants to correctly identify the countries represented by flags hanging in the atrium of William T. Young Library. Samane Zaarebandakoki, a graduate student in the UK College of Agriculture, won the prize of a $15 gift card to Starbucks by correctly identifying the most flags.


More than 60 students participated in International Game Day on November 19. UK Libraries, the Media Depot, and the Robert Hemenway Writing Center sponsored the event. Students gathered in the basement of William T. Young Library to play various games, have snacks, listen to traditional music, and enjoy international fellowship.
