Professor Eugenia Garcia Sottile of the Universidad Catolica de Valencia (UCV) in Spain was recently awarded the Santander Award for Internationalisation: COIL UCV for the virtual exchange project that she, UF Professor Christine Wegner, and Professors Colleen Lotz and Chantell Gouws from Durban University of Technology in South Africa developed and implemented. Their project, Comparative Perspectives on Social Issues in Sport, was collaboratively developed during the UF Virtual Exchange Training and implemented for the first time in Spring 2024. It was selected for this award amongst other VE projects implemented at UCV last year due to its impact and originality.
Congratulations to Professors Garcia Sottile, Wegner, Lotz, and Gouws on this impressive achievement!
