Pre-Departure Student Orientations

As opportunities to study abroad become a larger part of a potential students decision to attend a certain college or university, institutions of higher learning must be preparing their student body appropriately for the risks they can encounter overseas. As the desire of students to have more culturally integrated study abroad experiences, study abroad programs must be prepared to ensure their student body is aware of the risks and how to respond if they were to find themselves in an emergency situation.

Ensure your students and staff are prepared for the challenges and risks that come with foreign travel.
