The AI Steering Team will host a second town hall this week to hear input and further discuss the university's comprehensive strategy for responsible and mission-aligned use of artificial intelligence. 

The meeting is Thursday, March 19, 9-10:30 a.m. in the Kirkhof Center. RSVP here.

An earlier campus survey generated more than 500 responses. The town halls are designed for engagement on priority areas that aligned with key themes from survey responses: teaching and learning, research and innovation, workforce and regional impact, and institutional operations.

A website is dedicated as a repository for AI-related items.
