Security Situation in Ukraine: 2/24/22
Leadership of the Learning Abroad Center and colleagues from the University’s International Health, Safety, and Compliance team are carefully monitoring the Russian invasion of Ukraine through multiple sources including the U.S. State Department. The University does not currently have any programs operating in Ukraine or Russia and continues to prohibit independent travel to high-risk international locations. The health and safety of our students, instructors, and on-site staff is our highest priority. At this time, we have not made any changes to any education abroad programs or other associated travel, and we will continue to closely watch developments throughout Eastern Europe.
