The July 6, 2020, modifications stand in contrast with Transylvania University\u2019s mission, which values \u201ccommitment to lifelong learning and social responsibility in a diverse world.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International students enrich our community, offering unique worldviews and enhancing the Transylvania experience for students, staff and faculty alike. The lack of understanding and flexibility being afforded to them and institutions of higher education during a global health crisis is counterproductive and unnecessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My path to Transylvania began with the opportunities afforded to me as an international student from Canada studying in the United States. Today, our international students and their family members rightfully have grave concerns about what may happen this fall. We share this concern \u2014 I share this concern \u2014 as we value our international students and fellow Pioneers who are a vital part of our community. You are our classmates, teammates, roommates and friends, and we stand with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Transylvania\u2019s plan to return to campus in August, our international students should not be negatively affected. But if we have learned anything from 2020, it is that we cannot take anything for granted. Transylvania University is committed to supporting and advocating for our international students, and we will continue to do so through our local, state and national partners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International students enrich our community, offering unique worldviews and enhancing the Transylvania experience for students, staff and faculty alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":12531,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"7783,2994,1618,1851,1309,1848","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58,1],"tags":[68,529,61],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-12530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-presidents-blog","category-news","tag-international-students","tag-president-lewis","tag-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
