As a result of our survey and partnership engagement, we created a draft "DPAP Toolkit" of resources that can be used by international and study abroad programs to share with their students or colleagues. 

DPAP Brochure for Student Travelers. This quad-fold brochure highlights some of the risks posed by invasive pests and provides examples of generally prohibited items. It also introduces the Don't Pack a Pest program and outlines the process for declaring items to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The brochure is also available as a pdf.

Faculty Fact Sheet. Produced by University of Minnesota DPAP for Academic Travelers Program, this fact sheet describes important facts about the value of Minnesota's agriculture, key risks, threats, and actions that faculty and students can take.
