我们努力确保学生, faculty 和 staff who travel abroad in an official DU capacity have the knowledge, preparation 和 support necessary to manage risk 和 travel safely. International travel is best undertaken by well-informed travelers. While international travel offers many opportunities, it also exposes travelers at any experience level to risk. We want University travelers to benefit from international experiences, but we also want to help keep our travelers safe.
考虑到这一点, we provide information 和 resources to help ensure travelers are well-informed, encourage behaviors that minimize risk, 和 help travelers navigate University requirements.
