Travel Preparation & Safety Tips

Are you prepared?

As educators in international studies, we work hard to ensure that our students are prepared to handle a variety of emergency situations. Our office receives regular travel safety information from a variety of national and international organizations. In the event of an emergency, the College's risk management team would assemble to discuss the situation and determine what steps would need to be taken

We highly recommend the following Web sites to better assist students, staff, faculty and parents to prepare for a comfortable and safe international travel experience.
