Dear International Students,
I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. We look forward to the moment we can all be together again on campus, when it is safe to do so. The onset of this global pandemic presented us with many policy challenges and I want to thank you for the feedback and partnerships to support our international student community. As you know, today the university’s Fall Planning Committee announced the plans for fall semester 2020. Again, we will work together as we prepare for the fall to support your university experience. We encourage you to read the report carefully as it addresses a myriad of issues related to the upcoming semester.
We know this is a difficult time for all of our international students and that as you make plans for the Fall you may still have questions and therefore hosting a Town Hall for international students. Our goal for the town hall is to provide clear and specific responses to your questions and identify areas that we may need to follow-up on with campus partners. In order for us to be as responsive as possible, we need your help by submitting your questions in advance via the link below.
