Re:Thank You & Follow-Up from OISS Immigration & Support Briefing
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and International Campus Allies,
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined our Immigration & Support Briefing yesterday! We were thrilled to have had nearly 150 attendees on-line and in-person in support of OISS and our international community. We appreciate your patience as we navigated the technical challenges and are grateful for your engagement.
As promised, we have attached the slide deck from the presentation. Please keep in mind that immigration policies are subject to change under the current federal administration. We kindly ask that campus partners consult with OISS before advising international students and scholars on immigration matters.
For those who attended, we would love your feedback on the content presented. Please take 5–10 minutes to complete this brief feedback form. Your input helps us improve and tailor our future sessions.
Thank you again for your time, thoughtful questions, and unwavering support of UCSB’s international community. Each of you plays a crucial role as a global ambassador in your respective areas, and we deeply appreciate your contributions. And as always, OISS welcomes partnerships with departments. If we can provide specific training or attend your staff meetings, we would be happy to do so!
