About the Nodal Network

Since 2009, the SUNY COIL Center has partnered with a subset of SUNY campuses, helping them embed globally networked learning into courses and internationalization plans. These campuses are known as the COIL Nodal Network. COIL envisions these campuses developing into nodes which support and communicate with each other, rather than simply a hub and spokes system with COIL at the center. The Network included the following SUNY campuses as charter members: Binghamton University, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Delhi, SUNY at New Paltz, Purchase College and SUNY Ulster.

We are pleased to announce that four additional SUNY campuses are joining the network in the spring of 2012! These are Corning Community College, Empire State College, SUNY Geneseo and SUNY Oswego.

Each campus has made a commitment at the Provostial and/or Presidential level to the COIL model and has designated a campus Nodal Network Coordinator. These coordinators call regular meetings for interested faculty and staff, and help coordinate support with the campus’ international programs and/or instructional technology offices. Increasingly, COIL will be working with the coordinators to provide support to the campuses through its web site and other online tools.
