Safety & Security
At Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Qatar), we take the safety and security of our students, faculty and staff and their family members very seriously. As part of a continuous effort, SFS-Qatar has put in place several procedures to ensure students, employees and their family members are kept safe whether they are at work, at home, or elsewhere in the city of Doha.
