Unlocking Generative Artificial Intelligence Potential: A Hands-On Design Sprint to Lead Change at Your Institution

Seminar participation is limited to 25 people.

How can colleges move from scattered artificial intelligence (AI) experiments to a campus-wide strategy rooted in equity, transparency, and shared governance? This interactive seminar will showcase how Austin Community College (ACC) developed and launched an institution-wide framework for generative AI—spanning policy, instruction, operations, and communication. Designed by a cross-functional team of faculty, staff, students, and administrators, the framework offers adaptable tools for navigating the promise and pitfalls of AI in higher education. Explore real-world challenges such as clarifying academic integrity, aligning curriculum with AI capabilities, and engaging stakeholders across silos. Through a design sprint, including hands-on activities and planning exercises, participants will begin tailoring ACC’s model to fit their own institutions. Leave with ready-to-use templates, decision-making frameworks, and practical strategies to lead AI implementation with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re just starting or refining your approach, this session will offer grounded, scalable solutions to help you build an AI-literate, student-centered future.
