MICROCOURSE: RISK MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL PROGRAMS

This microcourse helps participants identify aspects of their current practices that they want to expand as well as areas for new development through collaborative efforts. Through a series of recorded conversations with experts across the international risk-management field, participants will be able to identify the core practices relevant to their school at this time and to learn about how these experts are thinking about and managing COVID-related risks at this time. Curated resources support participants’ ability to look deeper into topics of particular relevance and interest, and the self-paced, fully asynchronous model provides flexibility and independence during this particularly busy time.
