It is not unusual for faculty and staff to receive requests from colleagues or outside agencies who wish to visit the University, tour facilities and meet with people from various departments and units. If the visitors wish only to visit your department and there is no need to coordinate the visit at any other level, feel free to invite your guests and host them with the knowledge of your department chair or director. If the visitors are requesting an official visit and want to meet with senior administration or multiple units, please direct them to the Visiting International Delegation Request [1] form so we can better assess their needs.
