Throughout its history, Syracuse University has maintained a steadfast commitment to engaging and fostering a global campus community of students, scholars, faculty and staff. With deeply held values of inclusion and opportunity, the contributions of our international community are celebrated across our campus, in our research and scholarship, and within our centers across the world.
Over the past few weeks, reports of the Chinese government’s warnings regarding studying in the United States have led to some international students expressing concern about being able to pursue a Syracuse University education. I want to reassure our campus community that Syracuse University remains committed to our international students and scholars. We will continue to welcome and support students from all over the world.
At this time, we are not aware of any impact on the issuance of visas for new and returning students.
