Is your institution still navigating AI hesitancy while others surge ahead? In this on-demand session, Adobe and Justin Hodgson from Indiana University explored how institutions can move beyond the “should we?” and into the “how do we excel?”
This isn't another conversation about AI's risks and rewards. This is your strategic roadmap for building an AI-empowered campus - where faculty, students, and staff don't just use AI, they thrive with it.
We heard from leaders who are getting it right:
-
CIO Vision: Strategic leadership insights on positioning your institution at the forefront of the AI-forward movement
-
Center Director: Campus-wide approaches to building AI literacy and enabling confident adoption across diverse departments
-
Faculty Perspective: Real-world strategies for responsible AI integration in curriculum and classroom practice
Whether you're just beginning your AI journey or looking to accelerate your institution's transformation, with this on-demand webinar you'll gain practical insights, example frameworks, proven strategies, and the confidence to become a critical part of your institution’s AI-empowered future.
Stop hesitating. Start empowering.
