Emergency and preparedness response training

MSU requires all study abroad program leaders participate in a one-hour emergency preparedness and response training seminar at least once every two years.

Seminar presentations are made by members of the OSA Health and Safety Team and cover preparation prior to departure, resources available, and actions to take while abroad when responding to emergencies. Seminars are offered three to eight weeks prior to departure and occur at various days and times to accommodate teaching schedules.

Leaders will not receive a travel advance until they attend a seminar.  Participation is recorded, and leaders will be notified if they need to attend an additional seminar.
