The
MIT International Scholars Office (ISO) assists
MIT faculty and staff in bringing international scholars
to campus for a variety of purposes. The ISO advises
on immigration matters, issues visa documents, and
provides information and guidance on a wide range
of issues such as employment of spouses, health insurance,
taxes, language courses, and general information
about MIT and the Cambridge/Boston area. Weekly orientation
sessions for scholars and their families are held
throughout the year.
Every year, approximately 1600 international
scholars (visiting researchers, professors, and lecturers)
and accompanying family members are affiliated with the
MIT community. In 2005 - 2006, for example, this extraordinary
group of individuals represented 78 different countries
and engaged in research and teaching activities in 69
different MIT laboratories, centers, and departments. More
