Kroepsch-Maurice Faculty Development and Lecture Series

Current Academic Year 2023-2024: “The Experience of Faculty in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving in its impact on higher education, and we recognize the need for clear guidelines to ensure that institutions, faculty, and students are all equipped to handle the responsibilities that come with it. At UVM, we are actively creating these guidelines for faculty to support students' academic activities. At the same time, we recognize that AI poses risks and opportunities for faculty in the context of their teaching, research, and scholarly endeavors. As a public university, we are committed to addressing local and global issues and equipping faculty, staff, and students with the knowledge and skills to contribute to equitable solutions in a diverse world. This requires developing technological competencies while adhering to ethical, legal, and culturally responsive professional standards of practice. For these reasons, this year’s faculty professional development theme is about faculty experience in the age of Artificial Intelligence. We are confident that with our efforts, we can successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving field of AI. We anticipate lectures, discussions, book groups, panel presentations, and workshops throughout the year to further develop the conference theme. Please stay tuned for these events.
