FTI 2025

We're excited to start out the FTI with a mix of practical demos, examples, and a bit of myth-busting fun to highlight some of the ways we're thinking about and using GenAI here at Lewis & Clark.

Zoom Passcode: 689842

Do you have big research plans this summer? Writing a book chapter, launching a new field study, preparing a grant, or working on a creative or curriculum-based project? We’re inviting faculty to share a brief 3–5 minute lightning talk about the scholarly work they’ll be diving into this summer. Please join us for this crowdsourced chance to hear from colleagues, discover shared interests, and come away with a few names to follow up with over the course of FTI and beyond.

Join us for an insightful conversation with a diverse panel of students as they share their firsthand experiences with technology in their academic journeys. From leveraging AI tools for research and writing to mastering digital collaboration platforms like Google Workspace and Moodle, students will discuss how technology shapes their learning, enhances productivity, and presents unique challenges. Gain valuable insights into the tools that support their success, the strategies they use to overcome digital hurdles, and their perspectives on the evolving role of technology in higher education. This session is a unique opportunity to hear directly from students about what’s working, what’s not, and what the future might hold.

Student Panelists:
Doug Fournet, Lewis & Clark Law School
Esraa Alkhateeb, College of Arts and Sciences
Diego Flores Hernandez, College of Arts and Sciences
Khagendra Pariyar, College of Arts and Sciences

Many institutions, including Lewis & Clark, leave specific AI use decisions in academic work to individual faculty. Whether you're just getting started or have existing policies to share, join us to review recommended topics to address, discuss why being clear with students matters, and explore how different approaches fit different courses and/or assignments. There will be opportunities to develop and refine policies that work for your teaching environment through breakout sessions discussing evolving frameworks like the AI Assessment Scale. Leave with ideas for upcoming courses and help start a crowdsourced LC specific resource.
