In response to President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting citizens of 19 countries from entering the United States, Boston College’s Office of Global Engagement (OGE) and the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) urged affected international students and scholars to remain in—or urgently return to—the country before the order took effect on June 9, warning that reentry might soon be impossible.

Boston residents join Oxfam, Amnesty International, and the International Institute of New England to discuss the current status of global immigration, more specifically, President Trump's "Travel Ban," one year later.

Leslie Templeton hopes that her program will help students who are scared to return home find a family and a home over academic breaks.

University president William P. Leahy, S.J.'s email to the BC community about the travel ban inspired Aneeb Sheikh to draft the resolution calling for BC to provide free housing for affected members of the community.

The resolutions suggests that the University set aside housing for students who might feel unable to return home during school breaks.
