In the Fall of 2021, Paloma Rodriguez, Director of the Office of Global Learning, forwarded to me an electronic request from an instructor in Ecuador who was interested in a virtual exchange activity for a statistics class. I reached out to Ricardo Andres Lopez Celi of the University de San Francisco, and we planned a virtual exchange project for my QMB 3250 class. Our students met in Zoom twice during the Spring 2022 semester. The first time, we completed an icebreaker activity together and the students shared collages of pictures of themselves and their favorite things. We then had the students create a team collage with their new teammates from the other university. During the second meeting, the students worked on three statistical problems in Excel. The students had an opportunity to meet each other and work on statistical problems together.

In June 2022, Tara Mathien from the UF College of Education, Paloma Rodriguez, and I went to Quito, Ecuador to meet with faculty from the University de San Francisco de Quito (USFQ). The trip was co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies (Latin American Business Program – LABE) and the International Center. The university is Ecuador’s first private university and has almost 10,000 students enrolled, covering 10 majors and degrees that range from chemical engineering to marketing, to gastronomy.
