You can definitely travel with expired USA visa as long as you have other proper documents for the county or place you are visiting. The Problem is entering the USA back again which will require non-expired VISA.
I don't know if there is any rule where at POE they would allow you to return on the same i-94 without issuing new i-94 in which case you would not need a VISA. A friend of mine travelled to Canada (5-6 years ago) for a week and came back easily w/o a VISA and same i-94.
I don't remember all the details nor I would suggest you to do that unless there is a certain rules that your advisor is aware of.

If you have some time before your travle, I would suggest you to go to Mexico or Canada and get a VISA before traveling. You can get dates online easily in these countries. Many of my friends in those days used to go to Mexcio to extend their visa while they were in Master program and visit Nepal.
