International Scholar Visit Requests

Widener faculty who would like to host visiting professor or student scholar from abroad should plan early and contact CCGE before making an offer. Requests for a J-1 visa can take months to process so requests must be made at least one (1) semester prior to the planned arrival date. CCGE assists with the visa process and immigration support. Hosts should be prepared to accommodate the needs of their international visitors including:
  • Transportation
  • Shopping/sundries
  • Meals/meal plans
