Alverno Community Conference Will Focus on Preparing Students to Thrive in an AI World

Alverno College will host its annual Community Conference on Wednesday, April 30. This year’s topic is “Preparing Students to Thrive in an AI World,” and participants will explore the connection between competency-based education and the use of generative AI in the classroom, and how we can best prepare students for success.
