International Travel

Iowa State is engaged in a variety of global initiatives and activities, including research, service, outreach, recruitment, and study abroad. Risk Management provides resources to educate and prepare university employees and students to safely travel.

How we can help

High risk travel requires a travel itinerary review by the international risk manager, in accordance with the international travel registration policy. Travel during the pandemic continues to be extraordinarily complicated, and travelers are encouraged to take advantage of itinerary reviews and other resources for all destinations. ORM international travel resources and services include:

  • Personalized itinerary reviews (all risk ratings) and risk assessments.
  • Destination-specific recommendations regarding sensitive/political content on your devices and social media.
  • Advice if circumstances have changed or if you have questions about whether you should cancel or reschedule a trip.
  • Access to online tools to research conditions in your destination.

Contact Shaun Jamieson if you have questions or to schedule a consultation.
 

 

 

 

News and alerts

Israeli Palestinian conflict

Iowa State University's international risk manager is closely monitoring ongoing conflict and violence in Israel and Palestinian territories, including receiving regular situation reports from U.S. State Department sources in Israel and ISU's global security partners. The university has suspended all student-related travel to Israel and employee travel to Israel requires senior-level review. At this time, there is no indication that there is any threat to ISU travelers outside of Israel due to this conflict.
