This decision and its consequences impact our international students, their families, and other members of our campus community, including many alumni and our global partners working with the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding.<\/p>\n<p>This sweeping new order appears to collide with our mission \u201cto prepare students to serve and lead in a global context.\u201d We are monitoring this move carefully. This morning, university staff have reached out to each international student. We will continue to communicate a message of advocacy and support in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Provost Fred Kniss and I have expressed concern to our local and state elected officials. In addition, I meet with Commonwealth leaders in Richmond this week, a previously scheduled meeting where I can now address this agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of our four shared values at EMU \u2013 Christian discipleship, community, service and peacebuilding \u2013 is put to the test by this executive order. So too is our collective work to \u201cwelcome the stranger\u201d as Jesus called us to do.<\/p>\n<p>We will work carefully and diligently to ensure that we can continue to fulfill this important mission for our community, state, country and world, as well as support in our midst those impacted by these developments. Blessings to all as we navigate these new directives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Susan Schultz Huxman and Provost Fred Kniss released the following statement today.
