See How Staff Are Using AI At NMU - Discussion Forum

Artificial intelligence is rapidly shaping education, research, and administrative processes. To help faculty and staff stay ahead of these changes, NMU’s AI Workgroup has launched the NMU AI Discussion Forum, a campus-wide listserv designed to foster conversations about the opportunities and challenges of AI in higher education and beyond.

Members will regularly receive a discussion topic along with a related article, video, or resource to spark conversation. Joining the forum is a great way to stay informed, share insights, and connect with colleagues who are also navigating AI’s impact on education and society. Thoughtful, respectful dialogue is encouraged, making this a welcoming space for all perspectives.

Sign up today by going to NMU AI Discussion Forum Instructions and be part of the conversation shaping the future of AI at NMU!
