GenAI is rapidly transforming all facets of society, including higher education. GenAI tools can support your teaching and research in powerful and meaningful ways but must also be used thoughtfully and ethically. To help you navigate this evolving landscape, we have curated resources developed by campus units to guide your use of GenAI in instruction and scholarship.
