As we celebrate International Education Week at Drury University, we reflect on the vibrant tapestry of cultures that enrich our campus community. With students from over 48 countries and regions, Drury is more than just a university—it's a global village nestled in the heart of Springfield, Missouri.
Our international students bring a wealth of perspectives, traditions, and experiences that enhance academic discussions and campus life alike. From sharing diverse culinary flavors at international food festivals to hosting cultural workshops and celebrations, these students offer invaluable insights into their unique worlds, broadening our horizons and fostering mutual understanding. In turn, the Drury community embraces this diversity, creating an inclusive environment where all students can thrive. Through various support systems, cultural exchange programs, and community events, we strive to build a global community that starts right here in Springfield. Our commitment to inclusivity not only enriches the educational experience but also prepares all students to become global citizens equipped to navigate and contribute to an interconnected world.
International Education Week is a reminder of the power of education to transcend borders and unite people from diverse backgrounds. At Drury, we are proud to celebrate our international community and the profound impact it has on our campus and beyond. Here's to a week of learning, sharing, and growing together!
