UTA's 30th annual International Week is coming up very soon, the first week
of April. We need the participation of UTA's entire international
community to make I-Week a success. One of the best and easiest ways for
you to help out this year is to carry a country's banner during the Opening
Ceremony Parade. The Grand Opening Ceremony takes place on April 2nd and
begins at 12pm. We'd love for anyone who is interested to help showcase
UTA's rich diversity by carrying a banner. We have well over a hundred
countries represented here at UTA, and we'd love for them all to be seen
during I-Week.
Below you'll find a Grand Opening Ceremony application along with a list of
countries that we have banners for. If your country is there, then please
sign up to carry its banner. And FYI, it's not necessary to be from a
country in order to carry its banner. We'd like to represent as many
countries as we can, so if your country's banner is already taken, you can
still help out by carrying a different banner -- there are many to choose
from. You can also find this application along with more information about
International Week online at http://www2.uta.edu/iso/I-
Week2007/applications.html.
Don't hesitate to call or email with questions. We look forward to seeing
you all at International Week 2007.
All the Best,

International Week 2007
April 2 - April 6, 2007
Application for: Grand Opening Ceremony (Parade of Banners)
Date: Monday, April 2nd
Times: 11:45am–2:00pm
Location: Nedderman Hall, Library Mall & Bluebonnet
Ballroom, U.C.
Entry Fee: None
Deadline: Friday, March 2nd, 2007; 5:00pm;
Office of International Education, Swift Center
We welcome applications from individuals who wish to participate in the
Parade of Flags and Grand Opening Ceremony.
As part of the festivities of UTA International Week 2007, there will be a
procession of the banners representing the many nationalities of
international students. The procession will take place at noon on Monday,
April 2, 2007 in Nedderman Hall; will pause at the Library Mall so that our
guest speaker can officially open International Week 2007; and will
conclude upon the banners’ dramatic entrance to the Grand Opening Ceremony
in the Bluebonnet Ballroom of International Week.
The procession will march around the UTA campus and will help to attract
students to International Week. You can help by being the banner bearer of
your nation's banner. If you or someone else fails to volunteer, your
country cannot be represented. So apply and help International Week,
internationalism at UTA, and most importantly, to represent your country!
Only one person will be selected to carry a given country's banner,
although others may participate in the parade to the Bluebonnet Ballroom.
If two or more people apply to carry the same banner, a random draw will be
held to determine who actually carries the banner.
The Office of International Education can supply banners for the banner
procession for the countries listed below. Note that you will be
responsible for loss or damage to the banner while it is in your possession.
