Such interaction not only promotes a universal perspective and intellectual growth, but it also contributes to the cultural and economic well-being of the university, the state and the nation. Education Abroad Mission The Office of International Programs is committed to fostering and assisting with the international educational experiences of KUMC students, faculty and staff. The goal of the Office of International Programs is to support and ensure the safety and success of all international travel experiences. International Travel/Education Abroad Policy Statement Because of the complexities of international travel and the need to be aware of Department of State Travel Warnings and other pertinent safety information, It is required that all student international travel be registered with and approved by the Office of international Programs. Owing to the desire to give logistical and safety support for all members of the KUMC community, it is requested that any faculty or staff member participating in international travel as a representative of KUMC, also consult with the Office of International Programs in advance of travel. Inbound Mission Statement The Office of International Programs strives to provide support and services to international students, scholars, and employees that will enable them lawfully to pursue their academic and professional goals within the University of Kansas Medical Center.

ARRIVING AT KUMC I-20/DS-2019 PROCESS Once you are accepted and admitted by the individual academic department, there will be a number of things that you will be required to do in order to obtain a KUMC I-20 or KUMC DS-2019 Document. Depending on whether you are transferring from another U.S. institution or coming from your home country, you will have slightly different requirements. The following items will be required of all incoming international students: Proof of funding, with supporting documents o Below reference chart for the 2017-2018 Cost of Attendance: Passport identification page o If you will have dependents (i.e. spouse and children) accompanying you, we will also need their passport identification page(s) A completed Student Health Form filled out by your healthcare provider and supporting documents for the following immunizations: o Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis (Tdap) o Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) o Influenza Vaccination (Flu Shot) o Hepatitis B Surface Antibody – Quantitative (Immunity) o Varicella (Chicken Pox) IgG Antibody (Immunity) *Quantiferon is required upon arrival at KUMC* 7 | P a g e F-1/J-1 VISA ATTAINMENT (IF OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES) Once you receive the KUMC issued I-20 or DS-2019 document, you will need to schedule a VISA interview at a U.S. Consulate that has jurisdiction over your permanent place of residence. Prior to the interview you will need to pay the SEVIS fee (more information on page 7). If visa issuance should be delayed, please notify OIP immediately. If your VISA is denied, you should ask the officer for the reason for denial. You should then contact our office for advice on re-applying for the visa. After obtaining your VISA, you may enter the United States 30 days prior to the start-date on your I-20 or DS-2019. When choosing your arrival date, please keep in mind to arrive in time of the OIP student orientation which is in addition to departmental or university wide orientation programs. Attendance for the OIP student orientation is mandatory. Also, allow time to find housing and to settle in Kansas City prior to starting your classes. F-1/J-1 TRANSFERS (IN THE UNITED STATES) If transferring from another U.S. university or institution to KUMC, you will need to work with the sponsoring school’s international services office so that your SEVIS record can be transferred to KUMC. Your current institution will need a copy of an acceptance letter from KUMC before transferring your record. Any student that is transferring in between U.S. institutions will not need to renew his or her VISA with the KUMC program information. Once you are issued the new KUMC I-20 or DS-2019, you are permitted to remain in the United States and start the new program as listed on the document regardless if the VISA in your passport is valid or not. If you decide to travel home on an expired VISA in between program sessions, you will need to renew your VISA using the KUMC issued I-20, endorsed with a travel signature from the Office of International Programs. Students transferring SEVIS records to a new U.S.

  • Vanishing Ice: Art As a Tool for Documenting Climate Change
    Recommended for grades 4-6 Vanishing Ice: Art as a Tool for Documenting Climate Change ELSA LENZ KOTHE, MARY JO MAUTE, and CHRIS BREWER Artist-Naturalists in Interdisciplinary Exploration The work of artists as naturalists, scientists, documentarians, and explorers has long been part of an interdisciplinary approach to scientific studies. As museum educators, we have gained inspiration from the exhibition Vanishing Ice: Alpine and Polar Landscapes in Art, 1775-2012 (Matilsky, 2013) and discovered how historical and contemporary artists document and communicate the stunning landscapes of alpine and polar regions, portraying dramatic alterations resulting from climate change. Here we present projects to introduce upper elementary students to the important role that artist-naturalists play in science, while exploring three themes: relationships of people to the land, art as a pedagogical tool in exploratory and scientific expeditions, and art as activism. 48 ART EDUCATION n March 2015 Instructional Resources Figure 1 (far left).
