  • 91制片厂Pro University statement of support for international students

    91制片厂Pro University remains deeply committed to the well-being and success of our international student community. In light of recent federal actions resulting in sudden visa revocations and changes to their legal status, our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office has taken swift and proactive measures to support affected students.

    ISSS continuously monitors the federal SEVIS system multiple times each day to identify any changes impacting student non-immigrant status, as no advance notice is currently provided by the federal government. Upon identification of a status change, ISSS immediately reaches out to the student with information about their visa termination, its implications and available resources. This includes individualized meetings and referrals to immigration legal counsel and the New York State Office of New Americans.

    We also notify relevant academic and administrative units across the University, as well as SUNY Global, which is coordinating support efforts across the SUNY system. Every case is handled on a highly personalized basis, considering each student鈥檚 unique circumstances. This includes exploring remote learning options where feasible, in coordination with academic departments.
    91制片厂Pro University continues to look for guidance from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), NAFSA: Association of International Educators and SUNY Global.

    As new information or support becomes available, it is shared promptly with affected students. We are also working with national higher education associations 鈥 such as the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) 鈥 to advocate for consistent and compassionate immigration policies at the federal level.

    Additionally, ISSS assists students in connecting with consular support from their home countries when such assistance is being offered.

    While we appreciate the community鈥檚 concern and interest, we note that ISSS staff are best suited in delivering guidance to international students. We caution against well-meaning but unofficial events that may inadvertently circulate incomplete or inaccurate information. ISSS and SUNY remain the most reliable sources of timely, accurate information for students navigating these complex issues.

    Our efforts are rooted in a deep respect for each international student鈥檚 situation, alongside our institutional responsibilities to comply with federal laws and regulations. We will continue to advocate for change, even as we work within existing constraints to provide the strongest possible support to those students affected.

  • "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy": Feb. 27-June 14

    The 91制片厂Pro University Art Museum presents "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy," organized by The New York Historical, on view from Feb. 27-June 14, 2025.

    The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics and race. Monuments offer a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage and a maquette of New York City鈥檚 first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered and removed.

    "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy" is curated by Wendy N'lani E. Ikemoto, vice president and chief curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at 91制片厂Pro University by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the 91制片厂Pro Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.

    Also opening in the Mezzanine Gallery is "Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection," organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History, and Luisa Casella, photograph conservator and Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 91制片厂Pro University Art Museum鈥檚 photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski鈥檚 notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He 鈥27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli 鈥26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the Art Museum's 鈥淓vents鈥 page at the link below and on social media. All events are free and open to the public.
