Do you know how to respond when a crisis impacts your study abroad students? In education abroad programming and implementation, staff must be ready to manage a range of crises that may occur. Participants explore ways to assess risk, reduce risk potential, and respond to crises more effectively.

Learning Objectives:

Assess the probability and impact of potential risk factors tied to education abroad programs, destinations, and participants.
Reduce risk potential and impact by developing policies, practices, and ongoing training of onsite and campus staff, program leaders, and participating students.
Develop and follow a standard protocol in response to an active crisis.
Engage partners in the ongoing development of stronger crisis management practices.
