  • UPDATE: DEPARTURE ORDERS IN ISTANBUL

    October 30, 2016

    The US Department of State has ordered the departure of eligible family members of US diplomats stationed at the US Consulate in Istanbul and issued an updated Travel Warning for Turkey. The Warning cites aggressive efforts by extremists to attack US citizens in areas of Istanbul as the reason for the decision. The Consulate General will remain open and is fully staffed. Drexel currently has no known travelers in Istanbul or in other locations in Turkey.  

  • UPDATE: EARTHQUAKE IN CENTRAL ITALY

    October 23, 2016

    Two earthquakes have occurred recently in Central Italy, including a 6.6 earthquake in Norcia, approximately 72 miles from Rome. The earthquakes have destroyed many buildings in the towns of Visso, Norcia and other small towns in the area. While felt in Rome, it does not appear to have caused significant damage to buildings in the city. Drexel currently has a few students in Italy, but they have not been affected by the earthquake. OIP will continue to monitor the region.
