Higher education in the U.S.A. launches "You are welcome here"

In a difficult period of social and political change, some international students may beginning to wonder if the U.S.A. is the best place for them to study. Mirroring a similar UK initiative, 'We are international,' higher education institutions in the U.S.A. have now launched 'You are welcome here' to reassure international students. Jessica Sandberg of Temple University commented, "I felt like it was important that US universities come together on this instead of competing, and send a unified message to let international students know that nothing has changed, that we welcome them, that university campus are progressive, open-minded, friendly places, and that we truly value that here."

With a message of 'You are welcome here' one might also ask what the U.S.A. and other countries are doing on their campuses and in their communities to make sure that the welcome is authentic.
