Crisis Response for Cornell Programs Abroad

Cornell University has numerous resources across the university to assist program leaders. No program leader should handle issues dealing with program participants alone. Further, providing clear and consistent communication to both Cornell Abroad and the university partnerships is essential to secure expedited support.

When to contact Cornell University and/or Cornell Abroad:

• Anytime a student is hospitalized, no matter how serious.
• Severe food poisoning or allergic reaction.
• Anything of a psychiatric nature.
• Rape or sexual assault.
• Any incident involving injuries.
• Natural disasters.
• Terrorist attacks.
• Crime in which students are involved.
