Protecting Your Institution & Travelers

International education is growing. Are your risk management strategies keeping pace?

International education opens doors to transformative learning and global career opportunities—but geopolitical instability, extreme weather, cybersecurity threats, and evolving legal risks are making student safety more complex. Is your institution prepared?

Join us on December 2, 2026, for ways your institution can strengthen risk management, improve emergency preparedness, and protect students while sustaining impactful international programs. Our expert presenter will address the newest and most significant challenges shaping global mobility today using case studies and legal cases involving study abroad and institutional liability.

Learn how to anticipate emerging risks; strengthen traveler safety protocols; and protect your students, programs, and institutional reputation, without compromising the value of international education. Confidently navigate today’s evolving global risk landscape while providing meaningful, safe, and impactful international education opportunities.
