On August 31st, we had a meeting with the U.S. Consulate General about COIL.
We discussed the characteristics of COIL and our COIL Plus programs, as well as challenges and the solutions of universities implementing COIL.
We were also given an opportunity to talk about the ongoing COIL training program for our faculty members to bring in COIL to their classrooms.
We very much enjoyed the time talking with them over lunch.
