The AI Hour
Every Tuesday in November | 10:00–11:00 AM | Faculty Club
Hosted by ETS, The Survey Research Center, and CITL
Curious about how generative AI can support your teaching, research, or professional work? Drop in during The AI Hour- a weekly, informal space for HPU faculty to explore, ask questions, and get hands-on support.
Whether you’re just starting out or already experimenting with tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, or others, this informal gathering welcomes all perspectives.
We’re here to help you:
- Discover ways to integrate AI into your workflow
- Brainstorm ways to offer human-centered AI assignments to your students
- Discover Copilot- maybe create an Agent
- Reimagine assessment with AI
No registration needed—just drop in!
Let’s explore the possibilities of AI together.
