AI Literacy & Critical Evaluation

Understand and use AI critically; know what the tools do, when to use them and when not to, and how to evaluate what they produce.

AI in Research Workflows

We offer sessions and consultations on using AI tools for literature review, qualitative coding, transcription, and synthesis tasks — with attention to where the limitations are with AI tools. 

AI & Career Readiness

We've partnered with units on campus like Career Services to host workshops on how to use AI effectively in cover letter and resume building to panel sessions with alumni discussing the use of AI in particular fields. 

AI Resources for Instructors

We've developed an eLC course that provides resources for faculty and instructors to use and adapt into their teaching, including lessons, sample activities, and suggested assignments.  Our resource guide has great information on AI use including ethics, prompt engineering, and citing AI sources.
