The intent of the series is to engage the entire Rutgers community on timely topics in higher education\, focusing on a different theme each year. The theme for the 2025–2026 academic year is Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education. \nThe emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in scholarly communications and many aspects of higher education has raised questions about whether it should be used\, its environmental impact\, and its potential to discourage problem solving and creativity. The reality is that it’s here to stay\, and what’s needed is proactive consideration of both potential benefits and ways to mitigate disruption. \nThe first event of this series will focus on the role of AI in teaching and learning at Rutgers. It will be held on November 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Teleconference Lecture Hall on the fourth floor of Alexander Library. Breakfast\, lunch\, and afternoon refreshments will be provided. \nA recording of the event will be posted on the Rutgers University Libraries website at a later date. \nView the agenda URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/ai-in-teaching-and-learning-at-rutgers-a-new-chapter-in-higher-education/ LOCATION:Alexander Library Teleconference/Lecture Hall – TLH (4th floor) CATEGORIES:Conference,Symposium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251107T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251107T110000 DTSTAMP:20260421T145551 CREATED:20250805T175234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250805T175234Z UID:3149-1762509600-1762513200@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:A Virtual Community Reading & Discussion: The Present Professor (Session #3 of 4) DESCRIPTION:Description: This semester\, take time to pause\, reflect\, and reconnect by joining our four-part virtual book group on The Present Professor by Elizabeth Norell.
