Round out International Education Week with these events; get a close-up look at the solar system; and more.

Were you at Homecoming last weekend? You may have made the Homecoming 2026 photo gallery. Check out scenes from the parade, Crimson Huddle pregame party, football game against Lock Haven, Crimson Court recognition, and IUP Marching Band performances.

International Education Week has three more days of events. Learn about study-abroad opportunities or join in the fun of poetry and karaoke nights. The week culminates with a naturalization ceremony on Friday to welcome 74 new American citizens. Find the full schedule of events, open to all.

Presented Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., Cejka Planetarium’s next show will explore the formation of the solar system. Director Nick Deardorff will present a second show if 20 or more people are waiting in the lobby when the first show ends (around 7:40). Find more details.
