ABOUT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS DAY

The first International Students Day was observed on November 17, 1941 in London to commemorate the anniversary of the 1939 Nazi capture and arrest of protesting students from Czech universities. Nine student leaders were murdered and over 1,200 students were sent to concentration camps as a result. The day was noted to celebrate the bravery of these students. Today November 17 is recognized as a day to celebrate the diversity, multiculturalism, strength, and courage of international students who make great sacrifices to move and study abroad.
