With recent legislation by the current administration to halt international student visas, the ramifications are being felt here in Rotary District 5110. It seems there is not enough awareness about this issue so I encourage Rotarians to reach out to their local media outlets to spread the word that this is having some possibly unintended effects for many students and programs that promote peace and cultural connections around the world.
Thank you to my fellow Rotarian, Patsy Smullin, who owns KOBI-TV/NBC5, to help share this story with our community and to our District’s Youth Exchange Chair, Bruce Abernethy for doing an interview on short notice. Here is the link if you would like to see the article:
