Meet the 2025 UW COIL Fellows

The Office of Global Affairs is excited to announce that 10 faculty members have been selected as 2025 UW Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Fellows!

COIL is a virtual exchange pedagogy that fosters global competence through development of a multicultural learning environment, linking university classes in different countries.
