As a reminder, we do not know what the futures holds for any of us in any of our countries.  We have opened the USCO system in hopes that it will be safe for students to travel in the coming Spring.  Final decisions as to whether or not it is safe to send or receiving students will ultimately be the decision of the home and host institutions, based on the guidance from their respective university and government leadership.
