I want to invite a colleague to work with me. Do I have to make any arrangements through the Department?

Yes, visitors should receive an official letter of invitation from the Department Head contact, Christa L King [Math 109 (Dept Head Office), (520) 621-2868, cking@math.arizona.edu]. If you have any plans to pay the visitor for expenses while at the U of A, there are restrictions, particularly if the visitor is a foreign national and then depending on the type of visa and work status he/she holds.
