Higher Ed in the Age of AI: Faculty and Staff Showcase
Faculty and Staff are invited to join us for the Fourth Annual AI Showcase, this year entitled "Higher Ed in the Age of AI: Faculty and Staff Showcase." This year we explicitly invite a broader, more critically engaged discussion of teaching, learning and working in higher education in the AI Age, encouraging conversations about how we are using AI productively and also how we are deliberately not using AI, and why we are making our choices, to engage and to disengage.
The showcase will be held in person on Friday, December 11, from 9-4, and will include breakfast and lunch.
This event is cosponsored by the Office for Faculty Excellence (OFE), ADP Center, University Libraries, Information Technology Division, the University AI Working Group, and the School of Computing.
Call for Proposals: Higher Ed in the Age of AI: Faculty and Staff Showcase
We invite proposals for brief talks, demonstrations, and panel ideas that illuminate thoughtful approaches to AI across our work—including practices that incorporate AI or intentionally create space for learning and work without it. Topics might address expanding access, advancing research, strengthening student learning, streamlining operations, or imagining new possibilities for our work. In short, we invite proposals that address critical and intentional approaches in the areas of AI and teaching, AI and research, and AI use in higher education operations.
Presentations of all kinds—from introductory to advanced—are welcome.
This is a fully in-person event.
Submit your proposal using our online form, including an abstract of 150-200 words, by Monday, November 2, at 5 pm; participants will be notified by Friday, November 13.
We invite proposals on topics within the areas of AI and teaching, AI and research, or AI use in higher education operations. Here are a few examples:
- How are you using AI to improve your work or the work of your unit?
- How are you using AI to facilitate student success or improve the student experience?
- How are you working with AI in teaching and learning?
- How are you creating spaces that deliberately do not use AI to support deep learning?
- How are you using AI to facilitate your research?
- What might you want to share about your research on AI?
Possible formats:
- 10-minute presentation
- Pre-formed panel (~3 presenters and moderator)
