“The situation is fluid. Be conservative. Ask for help. Don\u2019t go through this alone.<\/p>\n

That was the advice to international students at the BU Town Hall Meeting: President Trump\u2019s Executive Orders on Immigration, which drew about 150 people to the George Sherman Union\u2019s Metcalf Hall on Tuesday evening. A show of hands revealed that international students made up at least half of the audience.<\/p>\n

‘The University is going to make sure it\u2019s about care,’ said Kenneth Elmore (SED\u201987), associate provost and dean of students. ‘You should not face the anxiety that you feel alone.’<\/p>\n
