As the Coronavirus pandemic upended life across the globe, the travel and tourism industry was hit hard as travel restrictions and shelter-in-place measures were enacted. These restrictions have had a major impact on international students across the world.

In the US at the University of Notre Dame, all study abroad programmes were suspended in late February and early March and students were returned to their homes. However, many of these students continued to “study abroad” from a different location and time zone, leaving university administrators to find ways to keep students connected to their study abroad homes, classes and classmates.

Discussion points in this webinar:

• How to keep students engaged with international destinations they are unable to be in during this time and/or as they study remotely
• Strategies to keep international students engaged and connected
• Best practices for how social media can assist in these goals
