Three William and Mary students studying overseas in Brussels are safe after a terrorist attack struck the city Tuesday morning.
“Their safety is our top priority right now, and we are working with the lead faculty member there to make sure everyone stays safe”, said Christian Basi, spokesman for Mizzou.
Janie Booth, a journalism major who is now interning at EU Reporter, said that even though she lives and works more than 30 minutes from the attacks, everyone in Brussels is feeling the aftershock of the explosions. JMU told The WorldPost it has confirmed that all of its students and faculty are safe. “The University will support students affected during this awful tragic incident”.
