VE/COIL Institute
Faculty
The Institute for Virtual Exchange and COIL Centers of Excellence is guided by experienced faculty who bring deep expertise in global learning, institutional transformation, and VE/COIL pedagogy. Our facilitators are committed to supporting institutional teams as they design, implement, and scale VE/COIL initiatives that align with strategic priorities and strengthen student success.
As lead faculty, we provide mentorship, structured guidance, and research-informed practices to help institutions navigate each phase of the Institute — from strategic commitment and module design to long-term sustainability and impact.
