Protocols To Protect Your Institution & Travelers
Institutions are now experiencing a renewed interest in international experiences, requiring significant risk management considerations and well-practiced strategies to mitigate institutional and traveler danger.
Join us on Thursday, May 1, 2025, when our expert presenter will examine risks associated with operating international programs, share effective risk management protocols, and ensure alignment with institutional tolerance. Legal case studies will be used to allow participants to immediately practice what they are learning.
Take advantage of this training to engage cross-departmental collaboration with student affairs, mental health, security, disability services and international educators to ensure your institution can continually evaluate and mitigate new risks, evolving international security concerns and shifting mobility restrictions. Ensure the fundamentals of risk management in education abroad are in order on your campus.
