American Friends will arrange and conduct several University Visits each year to campuses of major research universities in the United States. Each two-day University Visit will give staff from American Friends and/or from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany opportunities to promote the Humboldt Foundation programs; engage Humboldtians (individuals who have received grants or fellowships from the Humboldt Foundation) in networking; and identify and cultivate prospective applicants for Humboldt Foundation programs.

The University Visits will include:

• Meetings with senior administrators, deans, and department heads to explain and promote the programs of the Humboldt Foundation.
• Open forums with prospective Humboldtians to provide opportunities for more individual discussion of personal interests and projects.
• A late afternoon or early evening reception for Humboldtians, prospective Humboldtians, and University administrators. Other interested persons from the community may also be invited to the reception.
