The Pendulum NEWS Thursday, September 7, 2006 Page 7 UKNmKHm A FUN WORK ENVniONMEin? Students now insured when studying abroad From p. 6 Et£ ni The study abroad office staff members will consider billing the insurance directly into the Winter Term and semester program costs next year, according to Basirico. The study abroad office decided to offer insurance to students after Elon’s senior staff asked every office on campus to have a pandemic flu plan. “I started thinking, what if there was an outbreak of pandemic flu and winter term programs had to be canceled,” Basirico said. “What if there was an outbreak on Elon’s campus and students couldn’t go?” Basirico and his team began working on the plan early this summer. The August ter rorist scare in London further supported their decision. “I went to Europe in the winter of 2005, and I’m not sure if I would have gotten the insurance (if I had the choice then),” junior Jacqueline Del Giomo said. “But now that international terrorism is becoming more prevalent, I think I would take the trip insur ance more seriously. I think that spending $125 is a good choice to make in order to ensure that all of your bases are covered.” Basirico said that although students are encouraged to use this new insurance poli cy, they have a right to decline it. “But if I could have peace of mind for $125,1 would take the peace of mind,” he said. For more information on the insurance, contact iTravellnsured at (866) 347-6673 or (317) 655-4505 or the Isabella Cannon Centre for International Studies.
