Protect Your Travelers, Protect Your Institution

On Call International partners with institutions of higher learning to deliver the highest quality travel risk management and emergency assistance services to student and faculty travelers anywhere in the world.

On Call, a proud partner of Gateway, is pleased to offer you and your institution a complimentary Travel Risk Management (TRM) Assessment. This is a detailed analysis of your institution’s aptitude for managing unexpected crises abroad—along with practical, written recommendations for improvement.

Here’s How On Call’s TRM Assessment Works:

Step 1: Participate in a brief discussion with On Call’s Global Security Team (30-60 minutes) to discuss your institution’s current travel risk management policies and procedures.

Step 2: Receive an action-focused deliverable from On Call (via email) that contains practical recommendations and guidance for your institution to implement both immediately and in the long-term.

Step 3 (Optional): Discuss any of the recommendations prescribed in Step 2 with On Call, and ask any additional questions that you may have.

On Call’s TRM assessment DOES NOT include:

A few words from On Call’s clients

"The Global Security Team was always available to answer my questions and was even able to provide us with specialized reports to meet some of our unique needs. I had all of the data, information, and on-the-ground knowledge available delivered directly to me."

Faculty Leader, Private University

"I cannot thank you enough for all of your support in working through an evacuation made exponentially more complicated by the pandemic. As the safety person at my university, I very much understand being the person no one wants to have to call, but it makes all the difference knowing the team on the other line when you do have to make that call is ready!"

International Health & Safety Director, Public Research University

"I want to thank all those who helped us get back home. Everything went like clockwork once the plan was executed. We appreciated all the effort that you spent on our behalf. Keep doing good works for travelers around the world."
