Only in some countries, I know Mexico does.
And because of Mexico, most other latins that live in the US also "acquire" it.
They would look at me like a tree full of owls when I would say "Me vine a los EE.UU."
After all context dictates use, especially with this word.
OK?

Véngase has an added nuance se (usted) but we only say it this way to mean "come (here)."
I wouldn´t use the added nuance in your sentence because venir here works in conjunction another verb conocer, so there is no reason to add se. "Venga a conocer a su maestra" is the best variant.

Venirse unfortunately also has a fairly vulgar alternate definition.
