In the wake of the attack that killed at least 80 people in a southern French city, University of Wisconsin -- Stevens Point study abroad officials are considering changes to the planning of any foreign study program. 

"During the summer, we send out anywhere between 200 and 300 students," said Study Abroad Director Eric Yonke. "As soon as you hear about an event like this, I start going down my lists and seeing where the students are and checking in with them to see what their plans are for the weekend." 

Yonke says that his students were hundreds of miles from the city at the time of the attack, but he still encouraged them to get in touch with loved ones.
