About International Education Week
International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. Established in 1999, International Education Week promotes the international education of all students studying at U.S. colleges and universities. Beloit College has participated in the initiative since its inception with activities reflecting the many different ways in which the college and its alumni, students, staff and faculty engage with the world at home and abroad
The Annual Ivan and Janice Stone Lecture
Held during International Education week, this lecture honors the memory of Ivan and Janice Stone and is made possible by a gift from their estate. That gift also makes study abroad possible for students with financial need.
Ivan Stone taught for many years at the College, chairing the government department and the College’s international relations concentration. He also served as Dean and was the first director of the College’s World Outlook Program, which signaled the College’s decision to become international by innovating in the curriculum and significantly increasing study abroad enrollments..
To quote from a 1987 article in the Beloit Daily News, “Ivan Stone was the kind of teacher who opened the eyes of his students. He expanded their vision, and widened their horizons. He made them see the world; look beyond boundaries.”
Like her husband, Janice Shrimpton Stone was an advocate for international education and experience and for engagement at the local level. Both she and her husband were active in campus and community affairs, and together they led some of Beloit College’s first seminars abroad. Before her marriage, Janice Stone had worked at the International YMCA in Geneva, and following World War II, she spent a year in Germany working on a democratization project.
