Kyiv
March 4, 2022
ISA is constantly monitoring the security situation across Europe following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Our thoughts are with the Ukranian people and all those affected by this conflict.
ISA does not host any programs in Ukraine or Russia or nearby Belarus and Moldova. Participants are prohibited from traveling independently to these countries during their program.
We have been in contact with our teams in Europe and our program locations remain safe for our students. At this time, we are not making any changes to Spring 2022 programs currently in progress and expect them to run as planned. We also do not anticipate any alterations to upcoming Summer 2022 programs and look forward to welcoming those students abroad soon.
ISA Resident Staff continue to support students abroad and have reminded students of resources available in the event they need additional support processing the events taking place in Ukraine. Our Health and Safety team will continue to follow developments closely and, should any program adjustments need to be made, we will immediately communicate those with our students and U.S. partner institutions.
