COIL for Staff This cohort-based program, UF staff from across the University are matched with peers in similar professional roles at an institution abroad. Over 8 weeks, you will join a series of online meetings to compare and contrast job responsibilities and experiences with your counterparts and develop an collaborative project aimed at improving some aspect of your area of responsibility, gaining global perspectives and intercultural skills along the way. Intercultural Leadership Institute Through this semester-long program, you can enhance your intercultural skills and learn to design and facilitate intercultural learning for students, colleagues, or other learners. Through a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous activities, you will explore topics like intercultural communication, mindfulness, personal leadership, cultural dimensions, and more. Global Learning Community of Practice UF staff can join the Global Learning Community of Practice to stay informed about upcoming programs and events.
