What is the Coggin Delegation ?

The Coggin Delegation is an international group that brings together domestic and exchange students to enhance cultural learning while at UNF.  Offered through the International Business Flagship Program, the Coggin Delegation gives UNF students and international exchange students the opportunity to share experiences, practice language skills, and expand their networks across countries.

UNF domestic student members are able to: 

• Welcome the international exchange students to UNF and help them adapt to American - and Jacksonville - culture.
• Meet students from the country where they plan to study abroad and learn about their host culture before arrival.
• Gain competencies they might not otherwise experience if they are not able to study abroad, such as cross-cultural communication skills, language conversation skills, an intercultural worldwide, and empathy.
