Academic Connections is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding equitable access to global learning by building academic collaboration among students and educators through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Through inclusive, technology-enabled partnerships, we foster intercultural understanding, academic mobility, and meaningful educational exchange across borders, empowering learners and educators to participate in high-quality international learning experiences regardless of geographic, economic, or institutional constraints. Academic Connections operates as a future emerging US IRS 501(c)(3) organization committed to educational equity and global collaboration.

Vision Statement

​

Academic Connections envisions a world in which all students and educators have equitable access to meaningful global learning opportunities. Through sustained academic collaboration and technology-enabled exchange, we strive to transform international education into an inclusive, accessible, and interculturally rich experience, where academic mobility is no longer limited by geography, resources, or institutional boundaries, and global learning is embedded as a shared responsibility across education systems.
