 Hello, my name is John Mosby, president of Highline College. We welcome hundreds of students from around the world to study at Highline each year and hope you consider joining our Highline family too. International students are a big part of our campus community and make significant contributions to our college, both in terms of enhancing our already strong commitment to globalism and diversity, but also sharing their unique perspectives from countless communities and cultures around the world. With the current pandemic, we understand our students and communities are facing significant difficulties and while life plans have been interrupted for some, we have seen a strong desire of our students to continue with their education to build their futures. Our international student program staff is focused on keeping students informed about the ongoing changes that affect their ability to travel and study in the U.S. If travel restrictions delay your arrival or if you have any questions about remote learning options, please don't hesitate to reach out to any international student program staff member. We are ready and excited to welcome you to Highline. Our campus staff and faculty are dedicated to your success as a student, both in and out of the classroom. Faculty have created remote learning opportunities so that students' educational goals will not be interrupted. We also have a dedicated staff who have created online student services and support options as well as a variety of online activities and programs. Together, their efforts are creating a rich college experience for our students during this unprecedented time. I wish you and your family and friends good health and well-being. We look forward to seeing you here at Highline. Thank you.
