Key assets from the day are available below.

Panel Discussions and Faculty AI Use-Cases

Panel Discussions

Facilitating and Validating Learning in the Age of AI

In this panel, moderated by Tricia Bertram-Gallant, Director of the Academic Integrity Office and the Triton Testing Center, panelists examined how AI is changing the conditions for learning, and what it means to design, facilitate, and assess student work when AI tools are widely available.

In this panel, moderated by Virginia de Sa, Professor of Cognitive Science and Interim Co-Director, Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, panelists explored how AI is being used across teaching and research contexts, and what the broader implications are for academic inquiry, collaboration, and the evolving role of the faculty.

Faculty Use-Case Presentations

Twelve faculty members presented real-world examples of AI integration across disciplines, from course design and student feedback to research workflows and administrative practice. Each 12-minute AI use-case presentation represents a distinct approach, offering insight into what thoughtful AI engagement looks like in practice.
