As federal visa policies evolve, international students at City University of New York campuses face growing uncertainty. This timely conversation — Serica Storytellers: The Presidents — brings together two trailblazing CUNY leaders, Frank H. Wu (President, Queens College) and S. David Wu (President, Baruch College), to explore how student visa revocations are reshaping New York’s educational landscape.

Moderated by Joan Kaufman, Senior Director for Academic Programs for the Schwarzman Scholars Program, this hybrid panel delves into how immigration policy shifts ripple across classrooms, immigrant communities, and the city’s public higher education system — and how institutions can better advocate for and support affected students.
