In fall 2023, the college developed an AI Educational Campaign to explore the transformative power of generative AI technology in classroom activities. We extend our sincere gratitude to Lynne Parker, associate vice chancellor and director of AI Tennessee Initiative, for the support and partnership from her team that made this initiative a reality.
Thank you to everyone who was part of the dozens of proposals we received, which showcased the passion and vision of educators across the college. After careful consideration, the committee selected 16 projects for funding.
