Communicators Working Group

Communicators Working Group

We are international educators from across U-M whose role includes communications, marketing, and/or event management. Our group offers a collective space to share communication best practices and get involved in campus-wide IE events and initiatives.

Story Slam

Wonderful, weird, quirky, heartwarming, terrifying things happen when you go abroad. Students have stories. We want to hear them.

Global Photo Showcase

Our goal is to collect and celebrate the most beautiful and inspirational photos taken abroad by our students each year.

IEW Rock Painting

Help us recruit students to plan and execute an internationally themed rock painting expedition in honor of International Education Week.

Have an idea for a collaborative event? Fill out this form!

Staff Resources

Units should run their own photo contest and submit their top 10 photos to the campus-wide Global Photo Showcase, or have students submit their photos directly to the Global Photo Showcase submission form. 

Encourage your students to share their global stories! Students submit a summary or their proposed story and receive support refining and preparing to share it with their peers. 

Student workers from study abroad offices meet with over 6k admitted students and their families between February-April who are considering attending U-M.

  • We encourage study abroad offices to send student representatives to highlight their unit’s international programs during Campus Days. We offer collective training to student employees who staff our study abroad tables during the event.
  • Marketing materials

These resources are maintained externally from the IE Communicators Working Group, but we think these are useful resources who work with events, communication, and marketing!
