Student Testimonials:
"I have never had the opportunity to visit a different country let alone build a relationship with friends living in a different country than my own. Through these conversations, I have been able to overcome my own local and national mindset in thinking and value other cultures and empathize more with what they are going through."
-Maiya Espinosa
"I think that the act of even engaging in COIL contributed to the practice of being open-minded. As the act of learning about other cultures, respecting other group member’s opinions, and learning to navigate engagement with others despite some disagreement is all essential to becoming more open-minded as a person."
-Braden Shimp
