The Liberal Arts Collaborative on Emerging Tech (LACET) is a collaborative of individuals formally involved with AI at small liberal arts colleges thinking through AI together. AI is reshaping higher education faster than most of us can settle how we feel about it. The people carrying this work on our campuses are making consequential decisions without a settled playbook, and rarely on their own - almost nothing here moves without colleagues across the college. Small liberal arts colleges are working from particular conditions and commitments: fewer people wearing more hats, and an education built on inquiry, community, lifelong learning, and student agency. That work needs a conversation of its own, grounded in those conditions and the questions they raise. We bring people together across roles and campuses, and share what we learn along the way. 

The Aligning AI with Liberal Arts Values Series

This academic year, we’re exploring how liberal arts colleges can align AI with their values. As AI reshapes higher education, how can these institutions keep values like inquiry, community, lifelong learning, and agency at the center? Each webinar brings together panelists from a different perspective: faculty and staff, alumni and career, current students, and campus leadership. Each is followed by a LACET Chat, an unrecorded conversation where participants discuss the insights and questions the panel raised.
