Kudos

Kudos to UW-Whitewater Center for Global Education staff Jodi Simek, international education manager, and Rebecca Pearce, international admissions counselor, who created and facilitated “Reading the Regs. Retreat” on July 16 and 17, offering international educators from throughout the country an opportunity to read and review F-1 and J-1 student immigration regulations together. This model can be replicated for changes and updates to the federal regulations. 

Kudos to Connie Putland, chief human resources officer, who was named to the board of directors for the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) for 2025-26. Connie Putland »
