  “For people who are considering studying abroad, just do it! When else in your life are you going to get the chance to live in a foreign country and immerse yourself in a different culture?”
  A trip to Quito, Ecuador, and to Ecuador’s Yasuni National Park, showed St. Louis native Clara Hasemeier that the effort to boost sustainability is underway worldwide.
  Creighton University Global Engagement Office, GEO, has an active protocol to continually monitor developments across the world that may impact Creighton University sponsored travelers. At this time security agencies, travel organizations, and partner institutions have indicated that military conflict in Ukraine and Israel-Palensine may have impacts on travel abroad. Travelers should expect some possible delays and reduction in some services as countries make adjustments. GEO will continue to provide travelers with updates and support whenever possible. Travelers should frequently check the U.S. State Department Travel Advisories for their destination and plan accordingly.
  If you are a study abroad applicant with questions or concerns as to how this may impact your future program abroad please reach out to your Global Programs Coordinator to discuss this in more detail.
