Safety abroad is of primary importance to the Marquette University Office of International Education. While we cannot guarantee the safety of those traveling abroad, we will do our best to provide the tools for prevention and resources to use in the case of an incident abroad.
Before you do anything else, find a safe location. Your program will provide you with on-site emergency contact information. Keep it with you at all times.
