As part of International Education Week (IEW) 2024, the COIL Connect Live III Zoom workshop, "Three Approaches to COIL Professional Development," was offered on how COIL Connect partner organizations drive innovation in virtual exchange through faculty, staff, and leadership training programs. The speakers for COIL for Staff were:
-
Juan Ignacio Roca Knowles, International Promotion Office, CEU Educational Group, Spain
-
Paloma Rodríguez, Director of Office of Global Learning, University of Florida, United States
-
Sandra Valencia, Coordinator of Interinstitutional and International Relations, Universidad Católica de Manizales, Colombia
In spring 2024, the Office of Global Learning piloted COIL for Staff, a new internationalization program that connected a cohort of staff members from across the University of Florida with their counterparts at CEU Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, Spain. Through this experience, staff improved their professional and intercultural skills through discussion and collaboration.
