GFA is inviting interested faculty\u2014and especially those with little experience with AI or who do not use AI\u2014to join us for an informal conversation on the topic on January 16, 10-11:30 in Beam Classroom in the VAC.

This is not a forum, but a discussion group among peers that will help GFA to understand faculty needs and potentially impacted areas of governance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To stimulate the discussion, we will be reflecting on several brief essays on the topic of \u201cHow AI is Changing Higher Education\u201d that were published in the\u00a0Chronicle of Higher Education\u00a0<\/em>last month:\u00a0https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/how-ai-is-changing-higher-education<\/a>. You can access the articles through the Bowdoin Library catalog (https:\/\/bowdoin.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/01CBB_BOWC\/b484ai\/alma991003033869708043<\/a>)\u00a0or set up your own account for regular access to the\u00a0Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>(https:\/\/library.bowdoin.edu\/research\/digital-access-to-current-news.shtml<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

Please express your interest in attending by using this form so that we can get a sense of numbers:\u00a0\u00a0RSVP for GFA Faculty Conversation on AI and Higher Education<\/a>\u00a0(requires Bowdoin login)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

GFA is prioritizing teaching faculty\u00a0for this conversation, including lecturers and lab instructors. We will share key takeaways as appropriate to our colleagues in Academic Affairs, the Library, Academic Technology & Consulting, IT, and the Hastings Initiative.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Please feel free to bring your own snacks and\/or brown bag lunches since GFA does not have a budget and cannot provide food or beverages.
