International Student and Scholar Services (University of Minnesota)

Project Description

In addition to the concerns all students held due to COVID-19, international students had to respond to frequently changing immigration regulations, questions of whether to travel home, and fear due to increased instances of xenophobia and anti-Asian hate. To help, I coordinated an ongoing communications plan for ISSS’s response. It included dedicated web pages, emails, videos, and webinars to share information. It also included updates asking UMN staff and departments to communicate with international students.
