DID YOU KNOW that the Venus de Milo was found by a peasant named Yorgos on the Aegean island of Melos in 1820? For a time he hid the statue in his barn, but the statue was taken from him by Turkish officials.

International SOS


 

On April 22, 2010, The University of Texas System began requesting mandatory registration in International SOS for faculty, staff, and students traveling internationally on university-sponsored trips prior to travel. The registration is done automatically when either of the official UT System travel agencies (Carlson Wagonlit or Anthony Travel) is used.

International SOS is the world's leading provider of medical assistance, international healthcare, security services and outsourced customer care. SOS is emergency assistance provided by the UT system (free) to UTD faculty, staff, and students.

SOS is NOT health insurance; however, it assists UTD faculty, staff, and students in resolving any emergency situation, evacuation, repatriation, medical assistance in English, etc. Faculty / staff are expected to register in International SOS at least three weeks before departure: International SOS registration instructions.
