Syracuse University is currently working to support three international students that have been affected by recent federal actions involving the revocation of visas or termination of legal status by the U.S. Department of State. The University was not notified in advance nor did it share any student information with the government prior to the students receiving notice. No explanation has been provided regarding why these particular students were selected.
In response, the University’s Center for International Services is actively supporting the affected students. The center is coordinating closely with the Office of Academic Affairs and the students’ academic programs to ensure continuity in their education. Two of the three students remain on track to graduate as scheduled, and efforts are ongoing to assist the third student in maintaining their academic progress.
The University understands this news may be concerning for international members of our community and has been in direct communication with international students as well as international faculty and staff. As the situation continues to evolve, the University will provide updates as appropriate and urges anyone with questions or concerns to reach out to Juan Tavares, director of the Center for International Services, at jtavares@syr.edu or 315.443.5833.
