10. Insurance Technically, you have insurance coverage through Brock’s extended health insurance plan for the duration of your program Supplemental health insurance is highly recommended, and necessary for travels outside of formal program period Many of you may already have travel or health insurance from outside providers through family plans – check carefully!

11. Questions from family, etc. Parents, family, spouses, significant others sometimes have questions about your involvement Feel free to contact me by phone, in person, or by email for further information Family and friends can sometimes join the non-academic portion of our field program at their own expense, if circumstances permit (may help with overall costs)
