SUNY COIL Ambassadors

SUNY COIL Ambassador Program

Nominations Open April 1, 2025

SUNY COIL recognizes outstanding COIL instructors as SUNY COIL Ambassadors, accepting nominations from each SUNY COIL Global Partner Network Member institution annually. The call for nominations will open on April 1, 2025.

SUNY COIL Coordinators of current SUNY COIL member institutions are invited to nominate 1 exemplary COIL educator from their institution. We are looking for enthusiastic and effective COIL teaching faculty who can be positive, strong advocates for COIL teaching in our SUNY COIL community.

We will recognize and showcase your outstanding COIL instructors with a certificate of recognition and a digital badge from SUNY COIL. Each nominee will also be featured on our website as a SUNY COIL Ambassador. As a SUNY COIL Ambassador, they will have the opportunity to be SUNY COIL advocates and to share their thoughts and experiences with the SUNY COIL community in various ways throughout the coming year.

CRITERIA:

SUNY COIL Ambassadors are selected in recognition of their pedagogical innovations and contributions to the SUNY COIL community of practice. Earners embrace experiential learning and inclusive teaching and learning practices. They make meaningful connections between people, cultures, and ideas, offering engaging and globally relevant educational experiences. They incorporate virtual exchange opportunities as an exemplar for all learners and faculty. Nominees must be affiliated with a current SUNY COIL Global Partner Network Member institution. Self-nominations are not permitted.
