Using the State Department Exchange Visitor program to host international scholars

The U.S. Department of State’s Exchange Visitor Program provides foreign nationals with opportunities to participate in educational and cultural programs in the U.S. including scholarship and research. Each year, a number of visiting scholars from abroad spend time in residence at the University of Montana. This session will focus on the ways to utilize the Exchange Visitor program to host & employ international scholars, researchers, interns, and faculty members in your department, the many resources available through the Global Engagement Office to support international visitors, and faculty perspectives on the advantages of international collaboration.
