With Google Gemini now officially recognized as an approved AI tool under the university’s Acceptable Use of AI policy, finding intentional and effective ways to integrate it into daily work can transform your workflow. But how do you know when Gemini is the right tool for the job—and when standard methods are better?
Join us for a hands-on, 1-hour workshop designed for both faculty and staff. In this session, we will explore practical use cases, pull examples directly from team workflows, and discuss how to evaluate when—and when not—to use generative AI in your administrative and academic responsibilities. You will leave with actionable strategies for leveraging Gemini responsibly, intentionally, and efficiently in your day-to-day work. No prior preparation is required.

As Zoom continuously rolls out new artificial intelligence capabilities, staying informed on what tools are available—and how to control them—is key to managing your virtual meetings and classes effectively.
Join us for a fast-paced, 30-minute orientation led by Rebecca Davis to explore the university’s official Zoom AI features, including Zoom AI Companion and Zoom MyNotes. In this session, you will learn what these tools can do, how to use them to streamline your workflow, how to disable them when they aren't needed, and how to decide when it is appropriate to use them in academic and administrative settings. No prior preparation is required.
Switching to zero-cost course materials can transform student access and engagement, but making the shift isn't always smooth sailing. How do you find the right high-quality materials? What happens when you encounter unexpected course design hurdles? Join us for an open panel discussion with recent Zero-Cost Course Material Grant recipients as they share their authentic classroom experiences. Our panelists will dive into both the wins and the challenges of adopting zero-cost resources, offering practical advice and peer insights you can apply to your own courses. Whether you are curious about Open Educational Resources (OER) or actively looking for ways to reduce textbook costs for your students, come join the conversation and enjoy some refreshments!
