UW students not in harm’s way

The latest Middle East crisis has led the U.S. to start evacuating some citizens from Lebanon, but officials with University of Wisconsin-Madison student organizations say they’re not aware of any students who have been hurt or who are in danger.

The president of UW’s Arab Student Organization, Karima Berkani, said there are currently no UW programs operating in Lebanon and that the only UW students in the area are Lebanese citizens or students pursuing independent studies.
