If you are a faculty or staff member who has an interest in taking students overseas, we would like to invite you to attend an important workshop. The Office of International Programs will be co-hosting, together with our affiliate IES (the Institute for the International Education of Students), a workshop entitled "Legal and Risk Management Issues Affecting International Programs" on April 22, 2010.
The Office of International Programs encourages every faculty member with an interest in going abroad with students to attend this very important session. Risk management is an issue that is becoming ever more important in study abroad programming, and is an area that many of us don't naturally think about first when envisioning the exciting educational opportunities we can create for students abroad. This workshop will provide a deeper understanding of the risk management issues that need to be considered when traveling abroad with students.
The workshop will be presented by William P. Hoye, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and General Counsel at IES Abroad. Mr. Hoye is a leading higher education lawyer and an expert on safety, security, legal and risk issues affecting international programs. During the workshop, participants will discuss:
The workshop will be held on Thursday, April 22, from 2:00-4:00, in the Klingenstein Lounge. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Rachel Cullenen at rcullenen@ithaca.edu or 274.3306 by April 8. Light refreshments will be served.
We hope you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing you there!
