Generative AI

Generative AI is transforming higher education, impacting the way we teach, the way students learn, and the broader society with which we and our students engage. At St. Kate's, we are committed to preparing faculty and staff to meet the challenges posed by AI and to ensure our students are prepared to lead an influence in an AI-infused world.

This site serves as a hub for information and resources related to AI at St. Kate's.
