International Students' Day is observed on
November 17, 2016. International Students' Day is an international
observance of student community. Taking the day differently than its
original meaning, a number of universities mark it, sometimes on a day
other than November 17, for a nonpolitical celebration of the
multiculturalism of their international students. The date commemorates
the anniversary of the 1939 Nazi storming of the University of Prague
after demonstrations against the killing of Jan Opletal and worker
Václav Sedlá?ek as well as against the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and
the execution of nine student leaders, over 1,200 students sent to
concentration camps, and the closure of all Czech universities and
colleges. (With material from: Wikipedia)
