What role does Mac play in the safety, academic progress and communication with the students who are studying abroad?
Mac staff and faculty stay in touch with students, mostly via regular emails, while they are studying off campus. From the outset and as the semester progresses, we carefully monitor the State Department travel and country unrest warnings. Also, staff in the Study Abroad Office keeps in contact with the directors of the various programs in order to stay abreast of our students’ experience while away. The College does have a seldom used but highly effective Emergency and Safety plan for off campus study.
