Institutions of Higher Education are routinely affected by evolving U.S. immigration policies and practices. The rapidly changing immigration landscape has made recruiting and retaining foreign national students, faculty, and staff less predictable. Now, more than ever before, foreign students and workers may face delays in visa processing, inconsistencies in visa issuance, and inhibitive immigration practices.
This session focuses on addressing how universities and colleges can continue to promote a diverse student body and workforce in light of the current immigration environment. We also discuss immigration trends under the current Administration and provide strategic advice and best practices for managing your global immigration program.
