VE/COIL Clinics
AAC&U’s VE/COIL Clinics are a year-round professional learning portfolio for educators and professionals advancing globally connected learning. Each three-week clinic combines asynchronous learning, live sessions, practical resources, and applied activities.
Why the VE/COIL Clinic Series?
The AAC&U’s VE/COIL Clinic Series supports educators and institutional leaders in moving VE/COIL from individual practice toward stronger, more intentional, and sustainable implementation.
The Clinics are short, cohort-based professional learning experiences designed around application rather than content consumption. Participants develop an artifact tied to their own teaching or institutional context throughout the Clinic, allowing learning to move directly into practice. Whether you are designing your first VE/COIL experience or strengthening an existing initiative, the Clinics provide practical guidance, structured support, and a professional community focused on implementation.
Developed by the Office of Global Citizenship for Campus, Community, and Careers, each clinic combines expert facilitation, collaborative peer learning, individualized feedback, and practical implementation activities that participants can immediately apply within their own institutional contexts.
Participants will:
- Develop practical implementation plans, tools, and resources.
- Receive individualized feedback from AAC&U facilitators.
- Learn alongside faculty and institutional leaders from diverse institutions.
- Build confidence in designing, assessing, and expanding VE/COIL.
- Earn AAC&U digital credentials recognizing professional learning and implementation.
Each clinic may be taken independently. Together, the seven Clinics form a comprehensive professional learning portfolio supporting faculty, academic leaders, and institutional capacity for globally connected learning through VE/COIL.
Who Should Participate?
Designed for educators and professionals advancing global learning across higher education.
VE/COIL Clinics are designed for educators and professionals across higher education who support or implement globally connected learning.
Ideal participants include:

Career services, employer engagement, student-success, and academic leaders connecting VE/COIL with broader institutional priorities
Institutional teams are also encouraged to participate together, creating shared language, strengthening cross-campus collaboration, and supporting coordinated implementation.
Each clinic is capped at 25 participants to ensure a collaborative, discussion-rich learning environment where participants can share experiences, exchange ideas, and build connections with peers from around the world.
