Exploring AI in LAS Series
ATLAS is organizing a new series of AI-focused workshops and training sessions designed for the LAS community. In partnership with CITL, these interactive, hands-on events aim to strengthen AI literacy and proficiency among administrative staff, instructors, and faculty. Participants will explore approved AI tools available on campus and learn how to apply them responsibly and effectively in their work and everyday tasks.
What’s Next in the Exploring AI in LAS Series
Thank you to everyone who joined our first Applied AI Literacy in the Workplace session — your enthusiasm made it a great success! Building on that momentum, ATLAS is planning two new offerings for the LAS community this spring:
- Copilot Training for LAS Dean’s Office Staff
A focused, in-depth workshop for staff who opted in for the M365 Office Copilot license. - AI Series for Faculty & Instructors
A new series kicking off with an introductory session, followed by future events shaped by participants’ interests and experience levels.
