Final Opportunity to Engage with Executive in Residence (EIR): Sam Gerace


This upcoming Thursday (4/17/25), Sam will once again be on campus and will be available for one-on-one career coaching appointments with students. These coaching appointments will be 20-minutes in length and offered from 2 PM - 4 PM in PBL 160.

Things to note:
ONLY schedule a one-on-one coaching appointment if you are able to attend and plan on being there. Our EIRs are being generous with their time and volunteering to meet with students. It looks bad on the student and Weatherhead when students cancel appointments at the last minute, or are a no show. 

These appointments are limited and will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis.

Immigration Updates

Registration, Documentation, and Changes of Address
A reminder that DHS last week began enforcing a registration requirement for all foreign nationals. Foreign nationals who received an I-94 upon entering the US are considered to be registered. In addition, DHS reminded foreign nationals that they must carry evidence of registration with them at all times, and to report any change of address within 10 days. Failure to comply can result in criminal penalties and removal from the United States. Additional information on these requirements is available on the VISA Office website at https://case.edu/visa/news. 

SEVIS Terminations
As discussed in President Kaler's email on April 14, four active CWRU students have had their SEVIS records terminated by Immigration & Customs Enforcement in recent weeks. The VISA Office is checking SEVIS daily. If you are in F-1 or J-1 status with CWRU, be assured that your SEVIS record remains active through the expiration date on your I-20 unless you receive notification from the VISA Office.
