SUNY Canton’s goals for visiting scholars are:  \n􀁸 To bring an international dimension into SUNY Canton classrooms through co-teaching with faculty mentors;  \n􀁸 To undertake collaborative research with a faculty mentor and present research findings to the campus community;  \n􀁸 To contribute to the College’s academic life by presenting guest lectures, presentations or faculty seminars; and  \n􀁸 To connect with the international student population by engaging in activities and events sponsored by the International Office.  \nDS-2019: This form, also called a \"Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status,\" is the basic document used in the administration of the exchange visitor program. It permits a prospective exchange visitor to seek an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in order to obtain a J visa to enter the United States. It also identifies the exchange visitor and their designated sponsor and provides a brief description of the exchange visitor’s program, including the start and end date, category of exchange, and an estimate of the cost of the exchange program.  \nJ-1 visa: This is a non-immigrant visa issued by the United States to exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange.  \nSUNY Exchange Visitor Program (EVP) Consortium: SUNY Canton is part of the SUNY EVP Consortium; subsequently, the DS2019 is completed by SUNY Global. SUNY Canton’s International Office is responsible for submitting the request to be submitted SUNY Global to have the DS2019 processed. To allow ample time to prepare for the Exchange Visitor to receive their DS-2019, obtain their visa and make timely arrival plans, it is recommended that documentation to SUNY Global be submitted 3 months before the anticipated program start date. This means that the faculty mentor should work with the Exchange Visitor Advisor (EVA) as early as possible to meet this required time line. While not all requests will take the three months to process, it is essential to plan in advance to allow the best possible preparation for the Exchange Visitor’s arrival.  \nEV: Exchange Visitor, commonly referred to as the scholar  \nEVA: Exchange Visitor Advisor, International Programs staff member  \nSTEP 1  \nFaculty Mentor obtains sponsoring Department and Dean Approval  \n􀃟 Completes signatures at the end of this document  \n􀃟 Provides copy to the Department, Dean and International Office  \nSTEP 2  \nFaculty Mentor emails Invitation Forms to EV.
