This document discusses the risks of studying abroad in light of recent terrorist attacks. It describes how students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of California-Berkley were killed in attacks in Italy, France, and Bangladesh while studying abroad. In response to attacks in Istanbul, the University of Wyoming cancelled a faculty-led trip to Turkey, though some students went anyway and felt safe. The university has a safety committee that evaluates risks and cancels trips if danger is present. While study abroad carries risks, the experience provides benefits like enhancing one's resume and gaining a new cultural perspective that outweigh those risks.

International SOS - We live in a predictable world - Travel Risk ManagementInternational SOS
In today’s changing business environment, organizations are doing more travel and chasing new business opportunities overseas.
The challenge is understanding what risks travelers are exposed to and how to best manage them - not just react to an incident. With the spread of threats, we see a change in societal expectations, moral and legal obligations. Travelers today, need more support to stay abreast of the evolution of risk from individual risk assessments before they travel or threat monitoring while overseas, to crisis response if the unexpected happens.
To respond holistically to these challenges, organizations need to go beyond insurance alone, into a fully integrated Travel Risk Management Program.

Central Washington University (CWU): my ultimate destination
Living in the beautiful city of Jordan I completed my bachelor’s degree in law. However, this did not fulfil my quest for knowledge and I started finding avenues for further learning. My exploration took me to seek different subjects like English, Mathematics, Accounting Geography, Art, Music, Business Management etc. When I could not make up my mind I settled onto shifting to USA for better prospects. English conversation was a big drawback in this move, but watching lots of English movies and fellow students helped me overcome it.
I choseCWU as my final destination for many reasons. All schools and colleges have innumerable students pursuing many fields. When they succeed in their goals, become rich and famous, it is a proud moment for the alma-mater. Similarly this university has created and nurtured many famous personalities in various fields. Giovonne Woods, famous basket ball player, Jamie Nilsen, one of the few persons qualified to drive an unlimited hydro plane, Carol Smoots, successful attorney in Energy Law, Mike Wells the famous sports journalist to name a few. When CWU sky is glittering with these stars, it not only boosts my confidence, it also motivates me to give my best to my dreams being a part of CWU family.
As a child, I always wanted to be a lawyer and serve the country. But, my law degree alone could not be sufficient. A lawyer is required to decipher and master complex legal questions.
Lawyers need to possess good oral communication skills in order to be effective in the courtroom and make convincing arguments to judges and juries. A lawyer needs to communicate his thoughts and ideas clearly so that clients, colleagues, witnesses, judges are able to understand. They must be able to communicate effectively for good client-attorney relations. They must have good written communication skills because they might have to write a variety of documents, including legal case studies. They must also be good listeners, able to follow complex testimony or to understand and analyze the key elements of the case. A lot of time is spent conducting research, preparing documents and interviewing witnesses. They must stayabreast of frequent changes to the law. Poor communication skills lead to misunderstanding and can cause a breakdown in the lawyer's case. Keeping in mind the above factors, CWU was heaven’s paradise in mastering good language skills.
The faculty at the college is another feather in the cap for this esteemed institution.

Terror and Disease: Wll Fear Deter Summer Travelers? by Bianna GolodrygaBianna Golodryga
The recent terrorist attacks Orlando, Paris and Brussels, bombings in Turkey and reports of the Zika virus making its way around the world may have you wondering whether it’s wise to jet off for a vacation this summer. In this presentation, Bianna Golodryga takes a closer look at how global events could affect your summer travel plans, and what to expect in terms of safety and security.

Studying abroad during an age of terror
No one ever said that studying abroad was going to be comfortable or effortless, but it
isn’t supposed to be fatal.
The U.S. Department of State has issued a worldwide caution that ISIL, al-Qa’ida, Boko
Horam and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in multiple regions, targeting high-
profile sporting events, hotels, clubs, schools, public areas and other tourist destinations in the
United States and abroad, where citizens gather in large numbers, including during the holidays.
Unfortunately, study abroad students from various universities have become casualties of
these violent uprisings.
During summer 2016 alone, several institutions are mourning the losses of their own.
Beau Solomon of University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying in Italy, was found fatally
stabbed in Tiber River, Rome.
Nicolas Leslie was a casualty of the Bastille Day attack in Nice, while attending an
entrepreneurship camp, and Tarishi Jain was killed during attacks in Bangladesh, while working
an internship. Both of these students attended University of California-Berkley.
2. 2
In wake of the recent attacks, students are becoming more reluctant to study abroad and
universities across the country, including University of Wyoming, are struggling with trip
planning and sending students abroad.
In May, a faculty-led trip to Turkey was cancelled when terror attacks in Istanbul
occurred just days before an art class was scheduled to depart.
“It was incredibly disappointing to me when the university cancelled the trip to Turkey,”
said Darby Clark, a University of Wyoming graphic design student. “After a semester of classes
and being educated of the country and the political side of everything, I felt incredibly
comfortable going on the trip.”
Clark and two other students chose to take the plane ticket they were unable to refund and
go to Greece because of the similarities in landscape and culture it has to Turkey. Darby and her
peers actually ended up in Istanbul for a short time during their trip.
“We ultimately ended up in Turkey for a few days and I have never, in my life,
experienced such kindness and generosity from total strangers. I felt 100 times safer in Turkey
than in Greece, you would have never guessed that the day we arrived, there was a bombing in
Istanbul,” said Clark.
3. 3
“So, it really was too bad that the university cancelled a trip that two other girls and I
went on, and experienced none of the craziness that was expected,” she continued.
This trip cancelation was a decision made by the UW Safety Committee for International
Travel comprised of International Programs Acting Director, Mary Katherine Scott, a
representative from UW risk management and two other university faculty members well-versed
in international travel.
“We [the safety committee] had to cancel the trip because of the attacks in Istanbul two
days before the class was supposed to leave,” said Scott. “Keeping students safe is our top
priority, and there are several measures we take to ensure safety.”
Scott explained that trips abroad for UW students, regardless of the type of trip, have a
complex safety approval process in which the committee calls meetings in the event that a trip
could potentially be heading into danger. The safety committee’s recommendations are then
passed along to the Office of the Provost who then makes the final call.
International Programs isn’t the only travel abroad program working closely with risk
management and the safety committee. Alternative winter breaks, service learning trips abroad
led by Sagan Hunsaker, senior project coordinator of Alternative Breaks in SLCE, also take
advisement from these departments and directives.
4. 4
“We have several measures in place in the event that something happens to our students
abroad such as, evacuation insurance, a partner agency that provides ground support and U.S.
Embassy to receive notifications the moment something happens,” said Hunsaker.
Hunsaker explained that traveling in a group setting, such as Alternative Breaks, can be
another option for students that might be more comfortable than going alone. She warned that
regardless of individual or group travel, it is critical to stay vigilant. Risk is everywhere and it
isn’t foreign countries that leave people feeling vulnerable—it’s being an outsider no matter
where you are.
Sara Robinson, Study Abroad Coordinator and Student Exchange Advisor, pointed out
that even here in America, vigilance can be key. In fact, other countries have travel advisories
posted for their residents on traveling to the United States.
“I remember going to a conference in May down in Denver felt more unsafe there than in
some places I have traveled abroad,” Robinson commented. “You just have to make wise
decisions and not have a Nikon strapped on your left, a laptop strapped to your right, not paying
attention.”
Alongside staying vigilant, Sara also suggested a few more resources that the university
and U.S. Department of State offer to give students and their families more peace of mind.
5. 5
UW has a policy making it mandatory for students to have travel insurance that is billed
to students WyoWeb account. Cost of the travel insurance is dependent upon how long a student
will be abroad.
On a bigger scale, outside of what UW has to offer, Robinson also mentioned Department
of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This free resource offers travelers several
benefits including, up-to-date information about safety in your destination, immediate contact
with you in the event of a natural disaster, civil unrest or family emergency.
While studying abroad is carrying more risks now than ever before, Robinson encouraged
that the experience more than outweighs the risk.
“Study abroad provides not only the opportunity to enhance your resume, but gives you
the opportunity to examine the theories and concepts of your field from the perspective of a
different culture,” Robinson said. “By not studying abroad, you would be doing yourself a huge
disservice.”
