Developing immigration enforcement priorities require education institutions to develop or evolve their practices. Educational institutions face the unique challenge of being an employer, a school and even a law enforcement agency. From managing visa-dependent employees to working with students who have immigration processes themselves, institutions need to understand their compliance obligations and risks.
Join us for a timely webcast where a panel of immigration and compliance professionals will explore the shifting enforcement landscape, outline what institutions need to be aware of and share actionable steps to help your campus stay prepared.
