Each year, the Alumni Relations Office offers opportunities for alumni and the Concordia family to participate in travel experiences led by our in-house experts.

Concordia strongly recommends that you purchase additional trip cancellation insurance at the time of registration to recover your payments should you need to withdraw from the program. You should especially consider Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage from a travel insurance provider. Because quite a lot of coverage is already included with Concordia’s policy, look for providers that let you build plans from a menu rather than relying on pre-bundled packages.
Ed-Ventures offers travel insurance through Travel Guard at the time of registration. You can contact Ed-Ventures to determine if that is the right policy for you. For additional insurance options over and above what we offer, you can do some research at https://www.insuremytrip.com/.
