Artificial intelligence is redefining teaching, research, and institutional operations across higher education. At Montclair State University, we are approaching these developments with careful attention to alignment with the University\u2019s mission, ethical use, and appropriate safeguards, while strategically shaping how AI supports academic excellence and institutional advancement.<\/p>\n
To support this work, the University has formed a Cross-Functional AI Working Group<\/strong> (AIWG)<\/strong>, composed of faculty and staff from across the institution.<\/p>\n This webpage highlights the work of the AI Working Group while also serving as a central connector for the Montclair community, sharing AI-related policies, practices, research initiatives, curricular activities, and learning opportunities emerging across the University.<\/p>\n The Montclair State University AI Working Group guides the responsible and strategic use of artificial intelligence across the University. Convened by Academic Affairs and Information Technology, the group advises senior leadership on policies, best practices, and opportunities that support academic excellence, effective administration, and ethical innovation.<\/p>\n The Working Group focuses on aligning AI adoption in teaching, research, student support, and administrative operations with institutional values, legal and ethical standards, and the needs of the University community. Through cross-divisional communication and collaboration, it promotes informed decision-making and the development of AI competencies among faculty and staff as AI technologies continue to evolve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ben Durant,<\/strong> Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Emily Isaacs,<\/strong> Senior Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs If you are engaged in AI in your teaching, research, community engagement, or operational work at Montclair, please update your Montclair profile and email us so we can showcase your work.<\/p>\n Additionally, the AI Working Group regularly creates opportunities for members of the University community to share their perspectives and contribute input.
