Health, Safety, & Security

Boston University Global Programs seeks to provide all University travelers with as much support as possible in order to facilitate the healthy, safe and secure operations of Boston University’s global teaching, research, and administrative activities.

It is especially important for travelers themselves, whether independent researchers, staff travelers, project leads, or students to play an active role in addressing the health, safety and security concerns of overseas travel. Preparation—careful attention to one’s destination, and being ready for the unexpected—is an essential element of all overseas activity. Through careful preparation, most overseas problems and emergencies can be avoided or resolved quickly.
