UM study abroad canceled through July
Study abroad travel through the University of Montana is restricted through July 31, Associate Director of Global Engagement Marja Unkuri-Chaudhry stated in an email sent to some University faculty and staff. She stated that the decision was made after considering several factors, including national travel advisories, emerging COVID-19 variants and difficulty with vaccine rollout.Â
âUniversity of Montana recognizes the importance of life-changing international experiences and the vaccine provides hope that the university community can soon take advantage of these opportunities again,â Unkuri-Chaudhry stated in the email.Â
The UM International Travel Review Committee will regroup in May to make decisions for UM-sponsored travel beyond July. Faculty and staff, and potentially some graduate students, can apply for exceptions. But no exceptions will be made for undergraduate students.Â
