UNK’s First AI Symposium: Exploring the Future of Human-AI Collaboration in Teaching and Learning

University of Nebraska at Kearney is proud to launch its first AI Symposium, bringing together educators, staff, and leaders to explore how artificial intelligence can support, and transform, teaching, learning, and student success across campus.
