Supporting our International Students: Penn Submits Amicus Brief

We truly value the diversity to our School that the international students bring and so it has come without hesitation that Penn has joined in support of a lawsuit to block the new federal policy that would revoke F-1 visas for international students if their course of study is entirely online.

In addition to that Penn is working tirelessly to resolve the questions and confusion raised by ICE and the new federal policy announcement. And in the meantime, we hope the following meetings can offer you some support:

ISSS TOWN HALL MEETINGS – TODAY

WEITZMAN STUDENT SERVICES: SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS - THURSDAY, July 16th

Join Emily McCully, Director of Student Services, on Thursday, July 16 at 8:30 AM EST for a Zoom group chat: https://sp2upenn.zoom.us/j/6198557025

This is an informal conversation for international students seeking support; it does not take the place of ISSS answering immigration questions. It offers a chance to connect with other international students and learn more about Penn’s resources.
