Program Overview

This three-workshop program supports higher-education leaders in stewarding artificial intelligence as an institutional, cultural, and governance challenge. Designed for leaders and decision-makers across an institution, the program creates a shared learning arc that helps institutions move from fragmented conversations about AI toward more coherent and values-aligned practice.

The program provides a structured yet flexible pathway for leaders to make sense of AI in relation to their mission and culture. Across the workshops, participants examine how people experience AI differently, how shared understanding and literacy take shape across roles, and how governance structures can either enable or undermine responsible use over time.

Participants may engage in individual workshops to address specific leadership needs or participate in the full sequence to develop a more integrated approach. Taken together, the program supports leaders in moving from conversation to coordination, and from isolated decisions to shared stewardship.

The program emphasizes:

• Human-centered leadership and change dynamics

• Institutionally grounded definitions of AI literacy

• Governance approaches that balance consistency and autonomy with academic values

Participants leave better equipped to guide conversations, align stakeholders, and shape conditions for thoughtful, mission-aligned AI use within their own institutional contexts.

This program is for higher-education leaders and institutional influencers who shape how AI is taking shape on their campus. This includes academic and administrative leaders, faculty leaders, center for teaching and learning staff, librarians, instructional designers, IT and academic technology partners, and others whose roles influence culture, learning, policy, or governance related to AI. Participants do not need technical expertise in AI.  Participants should be prepared to engage in dialogue, reflect on institutional context, and work with complexity with other participants.

This program is not for individuals seeking hands-on training with specific AI tools or technical implementation guidance. It is also not designed as a compliance workshop or a one-size-fits-all solution.
