How are faculty members prepared to handle health and safety issues while abroad with students? As more higher education institutions turn to faculty members to lead programs abroad, those leaders need to be equipped with the necessary tools to address a variety of health and safety issues.

This webinar explores best practices for health and safety in programs led or managed by on-site faculty members, and outlines concrete steps for preparing faculty to deal with crises. Presenters Lynn Elliott and Landes Holbrook of Brigham Young University discuss how their campus minimized liability associated with study abroad programs while building a partnership between faculty members and study abroad staff. They also introduce a self-assessment tool for evaluating how well your institution is following model practices for health and safety.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Recognize best practices for health and safety in faculty-led programs
  • Apply proven strategies for engaging faculty in health and safety related discussions
  • Minimize liability and risk associated with study abroad programs by evaluating your current strategy
