- We’ll give a sneak peek at our latest work on how to contain ever-rising academic costs through innovative instructional models, nimble organizational design, and next-level curricular efficiency.
- We’ll facilitate provocative discussion fueled by our ongoing analysis of generative AI: both its disruption to classroom pedagogy and its transformative potential for the research enterprise. We’ll also share a practical playbook for upskilling faculty and the smart integration of AI into faculty research and teaching.
