OVERVIEW OF 2002-2003 

SEVIS AND RELATED IMMIGRATION ISSUES 

SEVIS 

Last year’s Annual Report discussed the approach of 

SEVIS: the Student and Exchange Visitor Information 

System. Legislation in the spring of 2002 mandated that 

this system, a means of tracking those on F-1 and J-1 

visas, was to become operational no later than Jan 30, 

2003. On or before this date all institutions that wished 

to accept students and scholars on F-1 and J-1 visas 

needed to 1) be approved by the Immigration Service to 

use SEVIS and 2) begin using SEVIS to issue new documents 

and replacing non-SEVIS documents. 

SEVIS was described by the federal government as the 

reengineered student and exchange visitor (F, M and J 

visa categories) process designed to convert a manual, 

paper-driven process to an automated one and: 

• Collect, maintain, and track information relative 

to international students and exchange visitors 

• Improve data collection and reporting 

• Facilitate compliance with regulations 

• Monitor school and exchange visitor programs 

SEVIS is also intended to be: 

• A data base of current international student and 

exchange visitor information 

• A data base of easily shared information 

• A tool to monitor and track F, M, and J nonimmigrants 

• A tool that can recognize, predict and report 

trends and anomalies 

In order to prepare for SEVIS the I-Center focused on the 

following areas, beginning in the late summer of 2002. 

• Clarification of the SEVIS Regulations. Essentially 

SEVIS requires institutions to report , electronically, 

selected data on all those students and 

scholars on F and J visas. The majority of the 

data elements are those that institutions have 

been required to keep, in some form, since 1983. 

• Under SEVIS institutions, or their Designated 

School Officials, (DSOs) are required to report 

the following on F-1 students: 

WITHIN 21 DAYS of the occurrence of the following events: 

• Any student who has failed to maintain status or 

complete his or her studies 

• A change of the student or dependent’s legal 

name , U.S. address or program of study 

• Any student who has graduated early or prior to 

the program end date listed on SEVIS form I-20 

• Any disciplinary action taken by the school 

against the student as a result of the student 

being convicted of a crime 

• Any other notification request made by SEVIS to 

the DSO with regard to the current status of the 

student 

No later than 30 days after the start of each quarter: 

• Whether the student has enrolled in the school, 

dropped below a full course of study (without 

prior authorization by the DSO), or failed to 

enroll 

• The current address of each enrolled student 

• The start of the student’s next session, term or 

semester 

Under SEVIS institutions, or their Responsible Officers 

are required to report the following on J-1 students and 

scholars: 

• Create EV—Program Acceptance 

• Validation of Program Participation 

• Personal Information/Financial Information 

9

• Add New Site of Activity 

• Delete a Site of Activity 

• Update Subject/Field Code Program of Activity 

• Change/Extend Program of Activity 

• Update Matriculation 

• Correct Minor/Technical Infraction of Regulations 

• Terminate EV from Program 

• Completion of Program of Activity 

• Bring Dependent (s) to US 

• Dependent (s) Departure 

• End Status for Dependent (s) 

Whether to use a third party software product or take 

advantage of the proposed SEVIS Patch that was being 

offered by PeopleSoft. It was decided to use the 

PeopleSoft PASS solution (Patriot Act SEVIS Solution). 

During the fall of 2002, and indeed throughout the entire 

academic year, regular meetings were held with representatives 

from the I-Center, ITSS, Registrar’s Office, and 

School Officials to develop a working process for 

implementing PASS. It was clear in fall of 2002 that 

Stanford would not be ready to batch information to 

SEVIS by the January 30, 2003 deadline and that RTI 

would have to be used for a considerable time after 

January 30. This proved to be the case and batch 

processing through PASS was not available until the late 

summer of 2003. 

In addition it soon became clear that PASS was focusing 

initially on F-1 students, and leaving the issue of J-1 visa 

holders until later. This meant that RTI was the only 

practical solution for J-1 visa holders until the academic 

year 2003-2004. 

Small working groups, within the I-Center, but also 

utilizing other office expertise, began meeting to 

evaluate the work processes that would need revising 

and to tabulate the issues that would arise when we 

began using SEVIS on a day-to-day basis. Once the final 

SEVIS regulations were published in December of 2002, 

this process took on more urgency as it became clear 

that 1) some of the regulations were not clear and 2) 

some routine work procedures could not be done 

through the batch process. 

During the summer of 2002 and fall of 2003 the I-Center 

requested additional, temporary, staff support in order to 

be able to meet the compliance requirements of SEVIS in 

the first year of operation. The December 2002 regulations 

stated that before August 1, 2003 all continuing F-1 

and J-1 visa holders (and their dependents) had to be 

entered into PASS. This amounted to nearly 4,000 

records, all of which would need to be entered one by 

one through RTI. Before this could be done all files 

would need to be checked to assure the accuracy of 

data, a check that included both paper files and those 

residing in PeopleSoft. 

Because much of the work of implementing SEVIS was 

tied to using the PASS product it was decided, in January 

2003, that ITSS would provide funds for two one year 

temporary positions. Suffice it to say, that without these 

positions, we would not have been able to meet the 

August 1 deadline imposed by federal regulation. 

On September 18, 2002, INS published an interim final 

SEVIS rule requiring certification of all approved schools 

by January 30, 2003. The certification involved an on-line 

form, followed by a site visit. Schools were also to be recertified 

every two years. Stanford completed this 

process in the fall of 2002 and was approved as a SEVIS 

school in early January 2003. 

It was clear that SEVIS would have a major impact on the 

way our work was structured. In order to better evaluate 

this, the I-Center requested guidance from the Dean of 

Students and Vice-Provost for Student Affairs to develop 

a long-term strategy for assessing our work procedures 

and responsibilities. In July 2003 John Pearson met with 

colleagues from University of Pennsylvania, Duke, 

Columbia, and Yale to share concerns and advice about 

the longer term affects of SEVIS on international offices. 

It was also clear that, in order to implement SEVIS we 

would also need to inform the campus community of the 

details of this new requirement. In order to accomplish 

this the I-Center: 

• Placed an ad in the Stanford Daily explaining 

the details of the system and responsibilities 

placed on Stanford 

• Offered regular workshops and information 

sessions for departmental administrators 

• Produced numerous Web based documents that 

explained SEVIS and it’s impact on the campus. 

These documents can be found on http:// 

icenter.Stanford.edu 

• Provided email and web information for 

students on a regular basis 


• Met with various governance and organizational 

units of the university (UMG, Office of the 

General Counsel, Administrative Units of the 

School of Engineering, Medical School Administrators, 

The Graduate School of Business, 

GDAWG, Registrar’s Monthly Departmental 

Meeting, Faculty Committees in the School of 

Engineering and the university chapter of AAUP. 

In addition the Stanford Faculty Senate discussed 

SEVIS. 

• Provided information to the University Compliance 

and Internal Audit Committee and the 

SEVIS Sub-Committee 

• Consulted with colleagues around the country 

to ensure that we had the most updated 

information on SEVIS. This included, but was not 

limited to, attendance at the Ivy League Plus 

Meeting, NAFSA National and Regional Conferences, 

Bay Area Schools meetings, AAU and 

Congressional Offices of local Members of 

Congress. 

RELATED IMMIGRATION ISSUES 

Since September 11, 2001 there have been numerous 

legislative and regulatory changes that have affected our 

work. What follows constitutes a summary of those 

passed in 2002-2003. 

• Homeland Security Act: On November 22, 

President Bush signed the Homeland Security 

Act into law, creating the Department of 

Homeland Security. This act mandated the 

move of the Immigration and Naturalization 

Service from the Department of Justice to the 

Department of Homeland Security 

• On September 18, 2002 the Department of State 

published an interim final rule stating that no F, 

M or J visa be issued unless U.S. institutions also 

provided U.S. consulates with electronic 

notification that the visa applicant had been 

accepted to the U.S. institution. A web-based 

system was developed, Interim Student and 

Exchange Visitor Authentication System 

(ISEAS). ISEAS was in force until the full implementation 

of SEVIS 

• Beginning in the summer of 2002 and continuing 

in the fall, the Department of Justice began 

issuing rules relating to the registration and 

monitoring of certain non-immigrants. On 

September 6, November 6, November 22, 

December 16 and January 16, 2003 the federal 

government issued a succession of regulations 

under the general heading of the National 

Security Entry-Exit Registration System 

(NSEERS). 

• On May 21, 2003 the Department of State issued 

a cable to all consulates requiring that all visa 

applicants now be interviewed. There were 

some exceptions but not F, J, H or O visa holders. 

• On June 3, 2003 the Department of State issued 

a cable to all consulates regarding priority visa 

appointments for all F visa holders and J visa 

holders in the professor, student and research 

scholar categories. 

• During 2002—2003 Stanford international 

students and scholars witnessed an increase in 

visa delays. These delays were due to a number 

of causes: 

1. SEVIS Technical Problems 

2. Visa Delays and Denials Due to 

Security Clearance Reviews 

3. Visa Appointment Delays 

4. Background checks based on name 

or country of origin 

5. Background checks based on 

intended program of study or 

research 

• On March 1, 2003 the Immigration and Naturalization 

Service ceased to exist. The Department 

of Homeland Security and its various subagencies 

now handled the functions of INS. 

PROGRAMMATIC HIGHLIGHTS 

The Programmatic Highlight of 2002-03 was the joint 

celebration, in May 2003, of the 40 th Anniversary of the 

Bechtel International Center and the 50 th Anniversary of

(CCIS). We celebrated by 

• Hosting a reception on Sunday May 4, attended 

by over 200 Community Volunteers, former Staff 

members, and Stanford friends 

• Producing a historical time-line of the history of 

CCIS which is now mounted in the Back Lounge 

of the I-Center 

11

• Coordinating a special annual meeting of CCIS 

at which past Presidents of CCIS and all four 

Directors of the I-Center attended. President 

Hennessy provided welcoming remarks

FOREIGN SCHOLAR SERVICES 

• Two-thousand three was highlighted by 

implementation of the federal government’s 

expansive efforts to implement the spirit of the 

Patriot Act, including deployment of SEVISbased 

forms production, mandatory registration 

of individuals from most Muslim countries, the 

fingerprinting and photographing of each visa 

entrant, the introduction of compulsory interviews 

for each visa applicant and the attendant, 

broadly-interpreted discretion consular officers 

were given to order background checks. Taken 

separately each of these changes would have 

generated enough activity to disrupt the regular 

flow of business. Taken together, as they were 

presented to us, these changes created some 

fundamental obstacles to the flow of scholars to 

Stanford in particular and to US institutions of 

higher learning in general. 

• The most obvious problem created by the new 

security-conscious federal environment is the 

significant delays engendered by background 

checks. These checks are carried out following a 

schedule of disciplines, professions and name 

comparisons. While applicants from some 

countries, such as China, are almost routinely 

considered for a name check (likely due to the 

paucity of Chinese surnames), others are 

mysteriously delayed for weeks on the basis of 

circumstances at which we can only guess. 

Consular interviews, now required for every visa 

applicant, are nothing new in countries such as 

India; in other countries; however, the burden of 

having to interview every applicant created 

massive delays. Various sources of assistance 

have been engaged, including the local member 

of Congress as well as helpful employees of the 

State Department itself. Unfortunately the 

Department of Homeland Security now owns 

the territory and defines the rules by which we 

now do business. 

• Departments, hosts and visitors are naturally 

unhappy at the prospect of an exchange being 

delayed indefinitely; some are ultimately denied 

a visa and are unable to come to the US at all. 

The literature tells us that international scholars 

are beginning to turn to other countries for 

academic exchanges. Britain, Canada, Australia 

as well as Continental European countries are 

becoming an attractive alternative as they 

eagerly seek out international students and 

scholars rather than submitting them to 

harassing interview and background check 

protocols. The Canadian Consul approached us 

with a request to conduct a “poaching session,” 

in which he described the litany of opportunities 

and benefits that lie north of the border. 

This session was very well attended, to our 

gratification and, at once, dismay. 

• We are obliged to focus our attentions and 

efforts inward rather than conducting outreach 

to the extent we would like. In this new and 

difficult environment, we undertook a closer 

relationship with Stanford’s external immigration 

counsel, who is associated with the University 

through the Office of the General Counsel. 

Ms. Serafina Sands, a member of Pearl Law 

Group, has helped us interpret aspects of the 

law, which as non-attorneys we are not qualified 

to do. She also undertakes those cases that lie 

somewhat beyond the scope of what the 

University is obliged to offer as a facilitating 

condition of employment. In meetings with the 

larger “immigration task group” comprising Ms. 

Sands and interested members of the 

University’s management, the essential Guide 

Memorandum, 28.1, is being amended to define 

more carefully the obligations and benefits of 

Stanford’s immigration environment. We are 

ambivalent about this in that the “visa infrastructure” 

is being consolidated; at the same 

time we are aware that we are beginning to be 

regarded as an extension of the federal authority 

that speaks to our national interest. 

• Other institutions appear also to be concentrating 

their efforts on the new technology and 

procedures inherent in the Patriot Act. Our 

quarterly meetings of California schools now 

feature almost exclusively discussions of how 

we are dealing with the procedural and technical 

challenges created by some aspect of the 

new order.

SERVICES TO INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES 

Services to International Families are designed to: 

• facilitate adjustment to the campus and 

community by all members of the international 

student and scholar family, 

• assist spouses/partners/families with information 

and advice on local resources relevant to 

the many areas of transition they face, 

• provide opportunities for spouses/partners to 

share skills and talents with the Stanford 

community by presenting classes and programs 

open to all, and 

• build a sense of community through which 

international families establish friendships and 

become acquainted with a variety of cultures 

and perspectives. 

In keeping with these goals, the I-Center: 

• Provided ongoing counseling & advising on 

topics such as: 

- Options for pursuing higher 

education, 

- Career development and transitions, 

- Options for studying English as a 

Second Language, 

- Volunteer work as a means to further 

one’s career, 

- Children’s schools, pre-schools and 

child care options, 

- Tenant-landlord relations, 

- Cross-cultural adjustment, 

- Personal and family issues, 

- Local and Bay Area resources relevant 

to each individual or family. 

• Sustained and continued to develop the 

Resource Center for International Families, a 

comprehensive collection of information and 

advising that enables spouses and family 

members to build a stimulating and worthwhile 

experience for themselves during their time 

accompanying a student, visiting scholar or 

faculty member at Stanford. Significant steps 

this year included recruiting and training a 

volunteer staff of 17 multilingual spouses, 

obtaining translations of Resource Center 

publicity in 12 languages, creating specialized 

language notebooks containing welcome 

letters and basic information in Chinese, 

Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese, installing 

display racks to hold pertinent handouts, and 

adding resources on distance education. A 

dedicated community volunteer has been 

essential to the project, organizing and updating 

materials, coordinating training and arranging 

the staffing of the Center. This year 17 

volunteer advisers speaking 16 languages have 

staffed the Center and provided valuable 

assistance to users. Visitors to the Resource 

Center this year have come from at least 25 

countries. 

• Presented Welcome Program (series of 9 

programs) for spouses, partners and families of 

international students. This included recruiting 

and training a Welcome Committee for International 

Families consisting of 35 individuals 

speaking 27 languages. Committee members 

played an active role in organizing welcome 

events and staffing information tables to 

acquaint new families with local and campus 

resources. 

• Developed new materials and revised handouts 

to help newcomers with a variety of needs, such 

as how to find shops that carry international 

goods, places to take children on outings, and 

referrals to local services recommended by 

current student families. 

• Helped organize Graduate Spouse & Partner 

Welcome for ALL new graduate couples, in 

collaboration with the Graduate Life Office, 

Work/Life Center and Graduate Student Program 

Board. Recruited speakers to give preview 

of life as a spouse/partner and encourage use of 

campus services.. 

• Redesigned, edited and produced a 28-page 

publication, “2002-2003 at Stanford”, which 

serves as a handbook for international families 

and a calendar to advise them of relevant 

academic dates and I-Center programs. It 

includes extensive information on community 

resources of special interest to this population. 

• Offered 135 programs for family members, 

including orientation tours, cultural presentations, 

classes in languages, cooking, art, tennis 

and programs that fostered cross-cultural 

communication between spouses from diverse 

backgrounds. (Please see section on Quarterly 

Programs for further details.) A special feature 

of this year’s program was the Travel & Culture 


Series, in which spouses gave presentations 

(often power point) and tips on visiting their 

country. The series attracted campus staff, 

community people as well as international 

spouses. In Spring, an entire class was devoted 

to Traveling Through Italy. Stanford students 

also benefited from the Elementary Russian 

Language & Survey of Russian Culture. Another 

highlight was the premiere of the film, “Spouses 

At Stanford”, focusing on the experiences of 6 

different spouses of international students and 

scholars at Stanford. The film was made by one 

of our Resource Center advisers, Anna 

Puigdollars, of Spain. 

• Maintained weekly communication with 

spouses, families & partners of international 

students, visiting scholars, and faculty through 

an email listserve. This has proven to be an 

effective way to communicate with a population 

that is scattered throughout local communities 

and are not able to visit the I-Center to see 

newly posted fliers. 

• Coordinated the selection process for the CCIS 

Spouse Education Fund. This includes publicizing 

the awards, advising applicants about 

options for study, raising additional funds, 

participating in the selection process and 

notifying recipients of Committee decisions. 

This year 25 grantees were selected from a pool 

of 27 applicants. Grants ranged from $150 to 

$330, for a total of $5100. Recipients were from 

18 countries, and fields of study included 

biomedical science, business, computer science, 

counseling, electrical engineering, teaching 

English as a second language, geographic 

information systems, speech communication, 

taxation, graphic design, mathematics, pharmacy 

and web design. Institutions included 

several community colleges, state universities, 

UC Extension programs, the S.F. Academy of Art 

and the Stanford Continuing Studies program. 

The Spouse Fund held its first evening reception 

to provide an opportunity for donors and 

prospective donors to meet the recipients and 

learn how the funds had affected their lives. 

• Collaborated with other CCIS programs, including 

the speaking at the Orientation for New 

Volunteers (on cultural variations on communication 

style), recruiting speakers for the CCIS 

Associates meetings and working with the 

Professional Liaison for International Spouses. 

Actively participated in committee to plan CCIS 

50th and I-Center 40th Anniversary celebrations, 

which met over 18-month period and presented 

a series of events to mark this milestone. 

Recruited 2 volunteers in with experience in 

events planning to assist with the events, 

identified speaker to represent past students. 

• Initiated and planned new events each quarter 

through open meetings with interested spouses 

who served as an ad hoc Advisory Committee 

for Spouse Programs. These meetings provide a 

vehicle for feedback on existing programs and 

ideas for the creation of new ones relevant to 

our target community. They also generate task 

forces to take responsibility for certain ongoing 

programs, such as the weekly Friday Coffee. 

• Maintained outreach to various campus groups, 

including Graduate Life Office, Escondido Village 

Community Advisers and Sloane Partners at the 

Graduate School of Business. Gave introductory 

remarks at the International Gala, 

celebrating international diversity among 

graduate students on campus. 

• Collaborated with other staff to produce the 

cookbook: Forks, Fingers and Chopsticks: 

Recipes from Stanford University’s International 

Community. 

• Facilitated research project for a group of 

students for a class in Product Design, 

“Needfinding”. Identified research subjects 

(international spouses who are parents) for 

students to interview in order to define better 

products and more effective ways for marketing 

them. 

• Cooperated on program development with the 

following offices on campus: 

Cantor Center for the Visual Arts

OFFICE FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS 

The Office for International Visitors facilitates the 

requests for meetings and short-term visitors to Stanford 

University by international scholars, scientists, university 

and public delegations, and other official visitors to the 

campus. We are happy to provide this service to the 

university. 

The OIV is extremely pleased with our relationship with 

the President’s Office, the Hoover Institution, the Institute 

for International Studies, Stanford Center for Innovations 

in Learning, to name a few. Each year our programming 

is strengthened by the relations we have formed with 

the many departments at Stanford. We continue to 

carefully arrange programs for our visitors with the most 

appropriate people and for the benefit and interest of all 

concerned. Though we welcome feedback from faculty 

and staff, the best indication that we are doing our job 

well, is that faculty and staff continue to meet with our 

visitors when asked.

Program Accomplishments: 

• The OIV, collaborating with the International 

Diplomacy Council in San Francisco, was 

awarded two State Department fee-for-service 

programs, one for Bulgarian IT Specialists to be 

trained in entrepreneurial techniques and the 

other for Macedonian NGO leaders on conflict 

resolution. These two programs brought 

$7,000.00 to our budget. Additional fee-forservice 

added $2,700.00 for a total of $9,700.00. 

• A successful tech grant was written for $849.00 

which allowed us to purchase a new eMac 

computer to better implement IEMS. We are 

starting to download programs and soon will 

29

work from IEMS. We are still asking NPAs to 

include Stanford University CIV in the itinerary. 

IDC is assisting us with this and before the next 

year is over, I think we will have accomplished 

this.

Hardware and software 

• The I-Center is slowly migrating to OSX. We now 

have 4 full-time users of the system and expect to add at 

least 2 more in the next academic year. We have proceeded 

cautiously as the OS has become more stable, 

user-friendly and integrated with Stanford proprietary 

applications. Also, as OSX is rather ‘ram-hungry’, some of 

our older machines (G3 systems) need ram upgrades to 

run this system efficiently. As we replace the older iMacs 

(most probably with the eMac, which has a G4 processor), 

OSX will become more ubiquitous for I-Center staff. 

SEVIS issues 

• PeopleSoft has integrated a patch (PASS - ) 

which is capable of batching large numbers of data 

records to the SEVIS server. This patch was not ready for 

Stanford to meet the August 1, 2003 deadline at which 

time the data for all F-1 and J-1 Stanford students and 

scholars (and their J-2 dependents) had to be entered 

into the SEVIS database. Therefore, the staff of the 

Foreign Scholar Office and Foreign Student Office were 

obliged to enter all of this data manually. To facilitate 

this effort, a web form was developed to gather data 

from F-1 and J-1 students at Stanford. This data was then 

transferred to a FileMaker database which was then used 

to copy and paste the data (primarily address information) 

into the SEVIS database. 

• At the time of the printing of this Annual Report, 

a batch system using the PASS patch has been successfully 

used to register the majority of F-1 students at 

Stanford University witih SEVIS for Fall and Winter 

Quarters 2003/04.

Community Committee for International 

Students (CCIS) 

CCIS had a very successful 2002-03 year. The highlight of 

the year was celebrating our 50th Anniversary in May 

with two separate events. 

• The first event was the 50/40 Reception, a 

combined event celebrating CCIS’ 50th 

Anniversary and the I-Center’s 40th Anniversary. 

I-Center Director John Pearson began with 

welcoming everyone, then CCIS President, 

Charlene Ward, talked about volunteering. She 

introduced past Stanford President Dr. Richard 

Lyman who spoke, and then Dr. Isha Ray spoke 

about her involvement with CCIS and the I- 

Center as an International student. 

• The second event was CCIS’ Annual Meeting 

with Stanford President John Hennessey 

providing opening remarks, followed by an I- 

Center Director and CCIS President representing 

the five past decades. For these celebrations, we 

were delighted to have CCIS’ first three 

President’s in attendance (Joan Lane, Sheila 

Spaeth, and Pat Chadwick), along with Stanford’s 

four I-Center Directors (Werner Warmbrunn 

(CCIS’ founder), Ken Cooper, Lee Zeigler, and 

current Director John Pearson). 

We had much to celebrate during this year. CCIS began 

the year with 19 enthusiastic Board members and a 

membership drive that exceeded our expectations. Our 

programs did equally well: 

• Community Advisors welcomed 423 new 

International graduate students and 57 new 

scholars/researchers in the10 days before school 

began. 

• English-in-Action matched close to 300 

graduate students, scholars, and spouses with 

community volunteers. The partners meet for 

one hour, once a week for general conversation. 

• English Classes had 12 varied classes per quarter 

and a consistently higher enrollment than 

before. 

• Homestay found community homes, for a 3-5 

day stay before the beginning of the school 

year, for all applicants (about 50). 

• Loan Closet provided small household items to 

about 125 students/scholars for their 

apartments. 

• Spouse Education Fund gave grants to 24 

spouses, their highest number to date. 

• Communiqué, our newsletter, was increased to 

five issues this year, beginning with a one-page 

edition in September. The November issue was 

eight pages in length, January/February, March/ 

April, and May/June were six pages. Each issue 

was filled with useful information for our CCIS 

membership. 

• Our other programs were also very successful, 

the Potluck/Music Nights attracted many new 

students and community members, the Cooking 

Classes were always full, and about 75 people 

enjoyed the Holiday Open House. 

In summary CCIS had a very productive and fun year. We 

ended the year with more volunteers than at the 

beginning and a positive cash flow.

Highlights of the Year 

• We had a special celebration this year on 

Sunday, May 4 th 2003 from 3-5 p.m. for the 

Bechtel International Center and CCIS 

(Community Committee for International 

Students). A joint reception was held to 

celebrate the 50 th anniversary for CCIS and the 

40 th anniversary for the ICenter. Presentations 

were given by Dr. Isha Ray, John Pearson, Lee 

Ziegler and Werner Warnbrumm to. the 250 

guests who attended the reception. This was a 

wonderful opportunity for catching up with old 

friends and reminiscing. 

• In anticipation of our joint celebrations, we 

painted the Back Lounge and hallway, 

brightened up the hallway with new ceiling 

track lighting, new coffee tables and end tables 

for the Back Lounge. 

• Later in the Summer, we had an ice cream social 

for all international students and scholars to 

thank them for their patience in the SEVIS 

deadline and to celebrate the summer. Cold 

Stone Creamery had wonderful ice cream for 

everyone.

NEW INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENT 

ORIENTATION 

During most of the month of September and through 

the first week of October, the I-Center’s Community 

Committee for International Students assisted I-Center 

staff by distributing packets of information to new 

international graduate students and scholars, answering 

basic non-immigration related questions and referring 

students and scholars who had immigration-related 

questions to I-Center staff. Some of the items included in 

the packet of information that was given to student were 

the I-Center’s Handbook for new International Graduate 

Students, a list of the I-Center’s programs and services, a 

concise booklet of basic visa related information entitled 

Passport to Understanding Visa Status and Benefits, 

information on parking and transportation, and a 

checklist of “things to do,” e.g. apply for a social security 

number, obtain a Stanford ID card, stop by the Graduate 

Student Information Center for information about 

Stanford resources, orientation activities, and tips for 

getting settled at Stanford, attend the I-Center’s Orientation 

workshops, purchase adequate medical insurance, 

establish bank accounts, etc. 

The official “University Welcome Reception for New 

International Graduate Students, Visiting Scholars and 

their families” was held at 5:15 pm on Tuesday, September 

17, in the back lawn area of the I-Center. Representatives 

of twenty of Stanford’s international student 

organizations set up tables at this event to make their 

presence known to the new international students and 

scholars. In addition, a special table was set up to 

acquaint spouses with the wide variety of activities 

offered to them by the I-Center. Former Stanford 

University President Gerhard Caspar, Dean of Students 

Marc Wais, Vice Provost Gene Awakuni, and John Pearson, 

Director of the I-Center, attended. Each gave a short 

speech to welcome the new international students and 

scholars and their families. After the speeches, a jazz 

band played music as students, scholars, and their 

families mingled with staff and community volunteers 

and enjoyed refreshments. 

Among the workshops offered during Orientation week 

(Sept. 17 to Sept. 23) were: a banking information 

workshop; a workshop on registering at Stanford, F-1 and 

J-1 visa information workshops; two “student panel” 

workshops, one entitled “Stanford As We See It,” and the 

other entitled “The Culture of the U.S. Classroom”; a 

workshop on health and insurance issues; and automobile 

information workshop; a bicycle workshop; a 

workshop for future course assistants and teaching 

assistants entitled “Teaching at Stanford.” The visa 

information workshops were repeated the week after 

Orientation Week for late arrivals who were not able to 

attend the earlier visa workshops. 

Other activities offered during Orientation week included 

nightly “Courtyard Cafes” which offered new 

students a chance to purchase a light supper at the I- 

Center and meet other students in an informal setting. 

On Thursday the 19th, new international students were 

invited to Orientation Week’s Academic Lunch, an 

opportunity for new international students to have 

lunch with continuing students from their departments. 

This event took place in the back yard area of the I- 

Center and lunch was provided free of charge by the 

Community Committee for International Students. That 

evening James Bettinger, Professor of Communications 

and Director of the Knight Fellowship Program spoke on 

“The U.S. Media and It’s Perspective on World Events.” 

Social events taking place at the I-Center during Orientation 

Week included a Reception for New International 

Graduate Women, and a Middle Eastern music and dance 

party. In addition, two bus trips were offered. The “Bay 

Area Tour,” which was organized by the Community 

Committee for International Students was an all-day trip 

that included a walking tour of the U.C. Berkeley campus, 

lunch at Berkeley’s International House, and a drive 

through San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge Vista 

Point. The second trip, a bus to Santa Cruz was organized 

by the I-Center. 


INTERNATIONAL WEEK AND INTERNATIONAL

International Week events were held at the I-Center from 

April 30 through May 10 and the International Festival 

took place on Saturday May 10. International Week/

year’s I-Fest was the “International Dessert Café” in which 

a variety of international desserts were prepared and 

sold by the I-Center’s International Spouse Group. 

Cultural displays and crafts form another component of 

the I-Fest. At each year’s I-Fest several international 

student organizations set up cultural displays and sell 

crafts from their countries. This year the displays were 

presented by the Egyptian Student Assoc, the German 

Student Assoc, the International Undergraduate Community,

Students holding F-1 visas who have maintained their legal F-1 status, are eligible to apply for 

off-campus work authorization, known as "practical training." Practical Training enables a student 

to obtain practical work experience in his/her field of study to supplement the student's academic 

training. 

Practical Training received before completion of the degree falls into two categories: 1) Curricular, 

if the student receives course credit for the work experience and 2) Optional (pre-completion). 

Practical Training received after degree completion is called Post-Completion Optional 

Practical Training. 

All types of Practical Training require a preliminary authorization by one of the Designated 

School Officials at the I-Center. Students applying for either the pre-completion or post-completion 

Optional Practical Training must then submit the I-Center's preliminary authorization to INS 

in order to apply for the Employment Authorization Document that will permit them to work. 

(Only the preliminary authorization from the I-Center and not the Employment Authorization 

Document is required of students who request Curricular Practical Training.)
