Cross-cultural exchange connects American and Japanese students
December 3, 2024
For more than 10 years, faculty from different programs at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and Chiba University, in Japan, have partnered in initiatives including joint lectures and inter-university team projects through Chiba’s Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). While the nursing-focused partnership started in 2021, COVID-19 restrictions delayed in-person experiences until last spring, when 10 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, UC’s Department of Nursing Chair and Associate Professor Donna Green, PhD, RN and Assistant Professor Samantha Boch, PhD, RN, traveled to Chiba.
