Academic Affairs AI Leadership Sprint 2026 (onsite)

The RIT Academic Affairs AI Leadership Sprint is the launch of a year-long initiative to understand the status of AI in teaching and the curriculum at RIT and to develop cogent policy that is sensitive to the needs of our faculty and students and reflects the expectations of different academic disciplines and professions.

Rather than prescribing one institutional answer to AI, the Sprint will equip our academic leaders with shared foundations and adaptable tools so every program can feel empowered to support more informed conversations, meet faculty where they are -- from enthusiasm to caution -- and move toward thoughtful, values-driven, discipline-specific action. 

 Join us on September 18, 2026, 11:00 am - 3:00 p.m. onsite:
