"Through Michael, I have learned so much about India, its people, customs, foods, etc. and have an understanding of his appreciation and wanting to learn about and help the people in India.  He came home for the holidays and we sat mesmerized by his adventures - adventures that he never would otherwise have had if it wasn't for LIU and the Friends World Program.  By the end of January, Michael was eager to return to India.  Most people will never get an opportunity to experience what Michael is experiencing, and he and I are so grateful for this program."  --  Barbara J. Greene, Michael's mother

Health & Safety
Global College’s highest priority is the health and safety of its students. Center staff members have access to the best medical facilities in the region, are trained in how to respond in emergency situations, and are on call 24 hours a day for emergencies. In addition to State Department advisory listserv announcements and the broad knowledge base of the Center staff, the program consults frequently with local organizations and experienced individuals with whom Global College has developed close working relationships over the years. All Global College students are registered with the US Embassy in the country where they are residing during the academic term.

During the orientation period, the Center Director, safety professionals, and other regional administrators educate students about general health practices, potential safety risks, how these risks can be minimized, and emergency response procedures. The Center maintains a list of health care professionals who have been able to provide care for our students in the past. Global College asks students to check with their physician prior to their departure about any health-related concerns.
