AI Mini-Grants for Faculty

.

Ten stipends of $500 will be awarded to faculty as an incentive to develop student-facing instructional units that integrate AI into existing courses, thereby enhancing student "AI Literacy" within their discipline. The instructional unit may include lessons, activities, and/or projects that require the use and/or critical analysis of artificial intelligence. Faculty are expected to disseminate the insights and outcomes from their work, promoting a campus-wide community of practice that improves AI understanding and teaching methods.

*** Application for Fall 2025 Courses is open****
Due May 26, 2025.
