For those of you who have heard, as well as those who haven't I've added this blog to forward on the information that’s on our side of communication. I posted this also for my own blog memories of the trip. Just know through all of this I'm very safe where I am, as well as very cautious when I travel. Try not to worry too much about me. The next two weekends I will with Laura's mom too, so I know that will make my mom feel a little at ease as I hope it does to you as well. I'll keep you posted on any updates and hope you will do the same, as my lack of television and newspaper makes getting news somewhat tricky.
Dear UWEC Students in Europe, Fall 2010:
As you may be aware, the US State Department has issued a travel alert for U.S. citizens in Europe on October 3, 2010. This travel alert expires on January 31, 2010. The full text of the alert is below:
Please read the travel alert and follow the Department of State’s recommendations in order to maximize your health and safety abroad. Remember that the CIE already registered you for your time abroad at the State Department’s travel registration website.
Furthermore, please review the safety information found on pages 16-18 of your on-line Study Abroad Handbook, located at http://www.uwec.edu/CIE/sac/AcptStudents/uploads/GuidesF10/SAHandbookF10.pdf, and above all, listen to the safety and security information provided by your on-site liaisons.
If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us!
Sincerely,
Cheryl, Colleen, Karen & Samantha
