Universidad de Monterrey in Mexico has a rich history of providing their students with projects, courses, and programs in intercultural competencies. In the spring term of 2021 alone, the institution offered 73 COIL courses in various disciplines.

A foundational element to their success is a broad understanding of the benefits of internationalization for their students, faculty, and institution, which has helped drive adoption of COIL virtual exchange by faculty across their academic colleges.

Brenda Garcia, Director of Internationalization Projects at Universidad de Monterrey, discusses successful strategies to engage and prepare faculty to create innovative virtual exchange opportunities that lead to enriching student experiences.
