Pour yourself a cup of your favorite hot beverage and join us for The COIL Café: Brewing Global Connections, a lively and conversational event celebrating International Education Week!

Rather than a traditional presentation, this café-style session invites you to sit in on an engaging dialogue with three of UT’s COIL Champions—Dr. Mary Gitau (College of Social Work), Dr. Phyllis Thompson (College of Social Work), and Dr. Renée D’Elia-Zunino (World Languages & Cultures – Italian)—as they share real stories from their virtual exchange classrooms across the globe. 

From surprising student transformations to creative problem-solving with international partners, our panelists will reflect on how COIL breaks down borders, deepens intercultural learning, and enriches teaching in any discipline. Grab your coffee, bring your curiosity, and discover how COIL can open new doors for faculty, students, and global collaboration— all without leaving campus!
