Crisis Response for Cornell Programs Abroad

Cornell University has numerous resources across the university to assist off-campus activity leaders (OCAL). No OCAL should feel they must handle issues dealing with program participants alone. Further, providing clear and consistent communication to both Cornell's International Travel Health and Safety Team and the university partnerships is essential to secure expedited support.

When to contact Cornell University and/or International SOS:

• 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.
• Civil unrest.
• Outbreak of war.
