Members of the UB community concerned about the impact of recent changes to immigration law can find the latest information on a new Immigration Update website.

The website, managed by the Office of International Education, feature such information as actions taken by the university in response to President Trump’s executive order, travel advisories for students and faculty, and statements from UB and SUNY administrators regarding immigration policy changes.

“With this situation still evolving, the website provides the best place for international students and scholars, as well as other interested members of the university community, to find up-to-date information,” said Stephen Dunnett, vice provost for international education. “The well-being of the international community of UB is our chief concern.”

Dunnett stressed the valuable and far-reaching contributions international students, faculty and staff make to UB’s research, teaching and service missions. “The international community of UB benefits all of us, enhancing the diversity of that community, our global learning opportunities and the richness of our cultural and intellectual life,” he said.
