MSU’s Global Youth Advancement Network (GYAN), Alliance for African Partnership (AAP), and Office for Education Abroad are pleased to announce the selected teams for the second cohort of the COIL Faculty Fellows Program-Africa. Sponsored by AAP, this online fellowship program is an opportunity for teaching faculty from any discipline to explore the theory and practice of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) through global partnerships connecting institutions within the AAP Consortium.   Approximately 45 highly esteemed teaching faculty expressed interest in partaking in our fellowship program and the selection committee was so impressed by the quality of all team applications received that seven teams were selected, rather than six teams as initially planned. In this second cohort of our fellowship program, MSU fellows representing the Broad College of Business, College of Agriculture & Natural Resources, College of Arts & Letters, College of Education, College of Engineering, and College of Osteopathic Medicine will collaborate with African fellows from Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.   Join us in congratulating and welcoming the seven teams below:   Antoinette Tessmer, Broad College of Business (Finance Dept.), Michigan State University.
