Health and Safety Resources

Health and safety are our highest concerns for all KSC study abroad participants. Before departure, we help prepare students for their time away from KSC addressing such topics as health awareness, cultural difference and adaptation, and academic and social support services. Our goal is for each student to have a safe and rewarding study away experience. The Global Education Office staff also monitors the world situation closely, maintains a Crisis Management Plan, and urges parents and students to be diligent and self-aware.

While more detailed general health and safety preparation information can be found in the Study Away Handbook, which is given to all students 2-4 months before departure here are a few useful resources for your reference. We encourage you to support and guide your student through the preparation stages, while at the same time realizing that the student will need to be responsible for his or her welfare abroad.
