Slippery Rock University’s study abroad promotional material asks students to think about what it would be like to study while “taking a stroll on the Great Wall of China,” but now students might have to hold that thought.

The university’s administration will meet Friday to discuss the school’s study abroad program in response to the spread of the coronavirus around the world.

The school’s meeting comes as other organizations and companies are clamping down on international travel.
