The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Educators Summit Planning Committee seeks engaging, interactive session proposals that keep humans at the center of AI-shaped work. Proposals are welcome from faculty and staff in every college, division, and office. The committee is especially interested in how colleagues are applying, questioning, adapting to, or deliberately setting aside AI in their teaching, research, creative work, services, and daily operations. Strong sessions will: put human skills first, engage participants actively, travel across campus, and provide participants with something usable to take away with them.
