Speaking & thought leadership

Talks and workshops for institutions past the policy stage.

The most useful sessions are the ones where something gets built in the room. These are structured that way.

Featured talk

HBCU AI Con

On building AI capacity inside minority-serving institutions. Why proximity to the problem beats proximity to capital, and what changes when a dean can ship software without an engineering team.

Featured workshop

Teaching in the Age of AI

A hands-on faculty session: redesign one assessment, end to end, so it survives free generation. Participants leave with a rewritten assignment, not a policy statement.
