You will be supervised by Dr/Professor __________, Chair of ______ .  H/she will be the in-house colleague who will coordinate and facilitate your research activities, and address your needs during your visit.  Please contact him/her by email (_______@uhv.edu) to confirm your travel plans and discuss any needs you may anticipate.  We plan to provide you with an office and a computer, as well as access to the university library and email services as needed for the duration of your stay.

The enclosed pre-arrival information describes health insurance requirements which meet the US Department of State minimum guidelines for the duration of your stay.  You may purchase the health insurance from a qualified provider before you arrive and provide proof of adequate coverage, or you may purchase a UH-sponsored plan during the check-in orientation session.
