of State which fosters the mutual exchange of ideas between Americans and foreign
nationals by means of educational and cultural exchanges, and to stimulate international
collaborative teaching, studying, and research efforts. The Exchange Visitor Program
provides eligible foreign nationals with opportunities to participate in exchange
programs in the United States and then return home to share their experiences. The
Exchange Visitor Program promotes international interchange, mutual enrichment and
linkages between research and educational institutions in the United States and those
of other countries. You may refer to the U.S. State Department's Exchange Visitor

The U.S. Department of State created the J-1 exchange visitor program with the purpose
of providing citizens of other countries with opportunities to participate in educational
and cultural programs in the United States and return home to share their experiences.
Programs are expected to promote exposure and interchange between exchange visitors
and Americans so as to increase their mutual understanding of each other's society,
culture, and institutions. In addition to the academic or professional goals of your
program, be sure to take advantage of opportunities for cultural exchange within the
university and the wider community. Be sure to check your email often for information
