St. Francis Xavier University, in collaboration with Aleas, are working together to strengthen the policies, processes, and institutional understanding of risk management for education abroad activities. Beginning with a top down approach of reviewing governance documents, to developing resources for students and faculty participating in education abroad activities that mitigate risk, to organizing an effective administrative response to reviewing education abroad activities to dealing with emergencies, this project is significantly strengthening the capacity of StFX to more effectively mitigate and manage risk of travelers.
