AI at WestConn. Let’s Talk!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Wolves,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard from some of you who have real questions about AI. How it\u2019s being used at WestConn in learning, in creative work, in university communications, and in my own work as president. Some of you are excited about AI. Some of you are skeptical. Some have serious concerns. Some just aren\u2019t sure what to think. You may be feeling all of these and more, or none. This complexity belongs in a university.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hosting a series of small roundtable discussions open to any WestConn student who wants to show up, share a perspective, and listen. These are dialogue sessions, not decision-making meetings. I\u2019m not coming with answers. I\u2019m coming to hear yours.<\/p>\n

A facilitator will join each session to help ensure every voice is heard and the conversation stays genuinely open. I believe the hardest questions deserve the most honest rooms. That\u2019s what these are.<\/p>\n
