Unfortunately, the study abroad trip "Panama Canal: Supply Chain Management and Logistics" has been canceled due to an official travel advisory from the U.S. State Department. The advisory indicates that one "should defer non-essential travel" to at least one of the regions of Mexico that will be visited during the cruise.
We are disappointed that cancellation was necessary; however, your safety is always our primary concern.
