Student Organization (ISO). Connell Nelson the Advisor to ISO will contact the

Connell P. Nelson, Director of International
Services;
discussed the new Immigration and Naturalization Services rules
and regulations that will affect those international students applying to and
enroll at IPFW. Among the topics discussed were the new INS imposed student
tracking system SEVIS and how it will impact not only IPFW but the
international arena as a whole. We also talked about how the changes will
affect how advisors will need to advise students and ways to inform the Faculty
and Staff of IPFW about these changes. Ways of communicating these new changes
that were suggested by the committee were;
1) the IS director meet with the departments
2) send the changes to the Department chairs to share with their
respective chairs
3) create a brochure that summarizes the changes and distribute on
campus.
