The J-1 Visa also provides opportunities for foreign nationals to experience internships\, research scholars\, industry specialists\, and summer temporary employees. \nSubject-matter experts and host organizations will provide an overview of how our community can benefit from this versatile exchange visa. \nJ-1 Visa Fact Sheet \nPanelists\n\nRobert Aronson\, Fredrikson & Byron\, Immigration Attorney\nLynette Evans-Tiernan\, U.S. Department of State\, Public Affairs Officer\nJennifer Nupp\, U.S. Department of State\, Senior Policy Analyst\nPrivate Sector Exchange Sponsor\n\nRegistration includes a light breakfast. This event is produced in conjunction with our Peacebuilding Approaches to Countering Extremism Summit on August 18. \nRegistration is now closed; walk-ins welcome.
