SUMMARY:ACS Workshop: Why Liberal Arts in the Age of AI?
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is reshaping the foundations of education\, and liberal arts colleges have a unique opportunity to lead this transformation. Join colleagues across the ACS to explore the role and unique strengths of a liberal arts education in the age of AI. Through workshop-style discussion\, we’ll surface the shared values that define our institutions and develop language that communicates our distinctive value to key stakeholders. The session is designed to generate input on a White Paper under development by the CLAAI ACS Fellows\, “Why Liberal Arts in the Age of AI?”\, which will both articulate our shared values and make a compelling case for liberal arts education in this transformative moment for higher education. Click here to register.

SUMMARY:ACS Workshop: Building Meaningful First‑Year Experiences – A Consortium Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join colleagues from across the Associated Colleges of the South for a virtual workshop led by Dr. Michelle Hite\, Ph.D. of Spelman College\, as part of ACS’s participation in the Teagle Foundation’s Cornerstone initiative. Designed for faculty who teach first‑year courses as well as curriculum leaders and FYE program staff\, this session will offer a collaborative space to explore how ACS campuses structure their first‑year experience\, including approaches to centering the humanities\, launching general education pathways\, and incorporating common texts to build a shared student experience. Participants will engage with examples from peer institutions\, reflect on their own campus models\, and explore opportunities for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration amidst our changing environment. The workshop will also outline potential next steps for campuses interested in considering a Teagle planning or implementation grant to support ongoing efforts. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:ACS Workshop: Telling Your Own Story of Success - Rethinking Assessment in Centers for Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Most Centers for Teaching and Learning track attendance—but we know that simply “showing up” does not directly equate with meaningful engagement or learning. If we encourage faculty to assess based on learning objectives and active participation\, shouldn’t our centers do the same? \n\n\n\nThis interactive session explores how CTLs can move beyond headcounts toward an intentional\, mission-aligned assessment framework. Drawing on the concept of an assessment repository to support academic programs\, we’ll consider how these tools can also help centers clarify their purpose\, measure what truly matters\, and tell a compelling story of impact. Participants will leave with practical strategies for developing an assessment compass that reflects their center’s values and demonstrates its institutional contribution. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The Meaningful Work Initiative: Leading a Liberal Arts Response to Careers in an AI-Shaped World
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Facilitators: Rashna Richards (Rhodes College) and Genelle Gertz (Washington and Lee University) \n\n\n\nThis workshop invites faculty and academic leaders to explore how career development can be more intentionally integrated into the curriculum in ways that are mission aligned\, faculty led\, and responsive to the disruptions of artificial intelligence. Through structured discussion and applied design work\, participants will examine how AI is reshaping disciplinary knowledge and expectations of work\, identify institutional barriers to integration\, and begin developing ethical\, curriculum-based approaches to career readiness. Together\, participants will leave with concrete strategies and shared models for preparing students not only for employment\, but for meaningful work grounded in the purposes of a liberal arts education. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:ACS Associate Dean Leadership Lab
DESCRIPTION:Session 1 – Welcome to Administration!The Associate Deanship is often a first full-time administrative role\, so the transition from faculty responsibilities to full-time administrative work can feel abrupt–without much onboarding or support.
