  • 勛圖腦瞳扦 statement of support for international students

    勛圖腦瞳扦 remains deeply committed to the well-being and success of our international student community. In light of recent federal actions resulting in sudden visa revocations and changes to their legal status, our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office has taken swift and proactive measures to support affected students.

    ISSS continuously monitors the federal SEVIS system multiple times each day to identify any changes impacting student non-immigrant status, as no advance notice is currently provided by the federal government. Upon identification of a status change, ISSS immediately reaches out to the student with information about their visa termination, its implications and available resources. This includes individualized meetings and referrals to immigration legal counsel and the New York State Office of New Americans.

    We also notify relevant academic and administrative units across the University, as well as SUNY Global, which is coordinating support efforts across the SUNY system. Every case is handled on a highly personalized basis, considering each students unique circumstances. This includes exploring remote learning options where feasible, in coordination with academic departments.
    勛圖腦瞳扦 continues to look for guidance from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), NAFSA: Association of International Educators and SUNY Global.

    As new information or support becomes available, it is shared promptly with affected students. We are also working with national higher education associations such as the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) to advocate for consistent and compassionate immigration policies at the federal level.

    Additionally, ISSS assists students in connecting with consular support from their home countries when such assistance is being offered.

    While we appreciate the communitys concern and interest, we note that ISSS staff are best suited in delivering guidance to international students. We caution against well-meaning but unofficial events that may inadvertently circulate incomplete or inaccurate information. ISSS and SUNY remain the most reliable sources of timely, accurate information for students navigating these complex issues.

    Our efforts are rooted in a deep respect for each international students situation, alongside our institutional responsibilities to comply with federal laws and regulations. We will continue to advocate for change, even as we work within existing constraints to provide the strongest possible support to those students affected.

    Digital wellness is the intentional pursuit of a healthy relationship with technology, maximizing its benefits while minimizing negative impacts on mental, emotional and physical well-being. It involves conscious adoption of sustainable habits aligned with personal values and goals, allowing for a balanced integration of the digital and physical worlds to achieve overall flourishing.

    For one week, B-Healthy encourages you to try a different challenge each day to be more intentional about your digital usage. We've curated daily tips, resources and activities to help you explore and develop new digital wellness habits.

    On April 28, registered participants will receive an email with their first challenge! Starting late? Visit the website for all the details of the challenge.

    Submit reflections to be eligible for a prize! Final submissions for reflections are due at 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 6.

    Keep a lookout for email reminders, and if you tend to use social media, follow the B-Healthy Instagram @bhealthybingu for daily story posts!

    This is an individual challenge that you can do anywhere and anytime! Team up with friends to challenge each other to complete all five days.

    Whats in it for you?
    At the end of the challenge, the B-Healthy Office in Academic B will give a prize to all participants who submit their self-reflection forms by the due date.
