Description:
The Office of AVP Research and Innovation is happy to host a special Lunch & Learn session for students, faculty, and staff. We are thrilled to host 2025 Distinguished Teacher Award recipient Alym Amlani (Melville School of Business) to deliver his talk, "Caught in the Middle: Teaching with Integrity in the Age of AI".
About the talk:
ChatGPT and other AI tools have made it easier for students to blur the lines — but not all instructors agree on where those lines are. This talk explores how AI is changing academic integrity and why inconsistent messaging across courses is making it worse. You'll walk away with strategies to prevent cheating, teach students how to use AI ethically, and address misconduct fairly. Whether you're frustrated, unsure, or just curious, this session offers concrete tools and real case examples to help you navigate this new landscape with confidence and clarity.
