April 21, 2021 – Summer Study Abroad and International Travel

We are aware of the decision by the U.S. Department of State to upgrade its travel advisory to “Level 4: Do Not Travel” for many countries worldwide. We are in contact with relevant entities to evaluate this situation. We will keep you promptly informed once we have a better handle of the current situation and its implications for our summer study abroad offerings.

In the interim, we ask all students and faculty leaders to remain flexible with travel plans. Students scheduled to study abroad with third-party providers or affiliates are encouraged to communicate with their contacts for updates. Thank you for your patience as we continually assess risk across all study abroad programs and international travels.
