Summer 2023 Updates
Health, safety, and security is paramount in Summer School Study Abroad program planning and execution. The University is committed to facilitating travel under safe conditions, but travel in the presence of COVID-19 can still pose risks for which you should prepare. Harvard Summer School will continue to monitor developments at our program locations with Harvard Global Support Services (GSS).
For travel safety advice, and additional resources, we encourage you to visit the Harvard Global Support Services (GSS) website.
