and institutional partnerships between members of the COIL Center's
Nodal Network of SUNY campuses and international institutions in the
MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. The Project Coordinator will
support our program of professional development for faculty and staff as
they construct collaborative online international learning courses and
programs, and will also contribute to the content and resources

best practices related to collaborative online international learning.
