Equipping Students to Thrive in an AI World

April 30, 2025 | Noon – 4 p.m. | Alverno College

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is now a key component of teaching and learning around the globe. This conference 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. Two of Alverno’s eight competencies will be highlighted in this exploration: communication and values-based decision making.
