Volunteering at the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Student Info Session, with esteemed speakers from Texas A&M University-Texarkana (TAMUT) and Shinshu University in Japan, was a truly enriching experience. This event wasn’t just an educational session; it was a testament to the power of international collaboration in education.

My role in facilitating this cross-cultural exchange helped bridge the gap between students from diverse backgrounds, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of different perspectives. This aligns directly with the United States’ national interest in promoting global education and international relations.

Participating in this event underscored the importance of global connectivity and cultural exchange in today’s world. It was an honor to contribute to an initiative that not only enriches the academic experience but also strengthens international ties, echoing the USA’s commitment to global engagement and cooperation.
