After suicide bombers killed 32 people at Brussels Airport and Maelbeek metro station on March 22, 2016, the University of Illinois had roughly 50 students and faculty in two study-abroad programs in the Brussels area. The university's Office of International Safety and Security issued an International Safety and Security Alert instructing them to shelter in place, check in, and avoid public spaces until travel was safe.
