Recent discussions emphasizing the importance of cultural activities for exchange visitors have raised questions among Responsible Officers. What are our legal obligations in this area? How can we ensure compliance? What kinds of cultural activities contribute to robust exchange programs? How best to keep records about these activities and report them to the U.S. Department of State (DOS)?

Michael Freeman, Dana Bleau, Esq., and Steve Springer will provide tangible solutions for ensuring the best cultural programming experiences possible by reaching out to intentionally meet the needs of the different exchange visitor profiles and provide appropriate, compliant programming for each. The presenters will also cover how to keep the records that you will need for your annual report.

Invite your OISS director, departmental liaison, international student adviser, and other colleagues to join this webinar.
