The Duration of Status changes are already reshaping how international offices operate, and the questions from faculty, administrators, and students aren't slowing down. This session is built to help you separate what's confirmed from what's still unfolding, and to hear directly from peers who are navigating it right now.
We'll open with a regulatory update from Bob White, Principal at Masuda Funai, covering what the D/S final rule actually changes and what it doesn't. From there, Travis Ulrich will lead a panel conversation with Linda Gentile (Carnegie Mellon) and Tony Marotta (College of DuPage), two ISSS leaders managing this shift on their own campuses. We'll close with open Q&A and a short update on how Terra Dotta is supporting ISSS offices through the transition.
