Distinguished COIL Fellows

Who are the Distinguished COIL Fellows?

The Center for Global Learning and Engagement has created the special Distinguished COIL Fellow designation for faculty who have developed and implemented two or more Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects.

Between spring 2022 and spring 2025, eight UCA Distinguished COIL Fellows collaborated with professors in nine countries to develop COIL projects in eleven courses.
