Morgan Stanford of ATLIS, Tracey DeCicco of Client Services and Jennifer Wolfe of Kares Library were trained by the Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning through Auburn University in February as TA’s for the launch of the “Teaching with AI” course for the Athens State University campus. The first pilot cohort of faculty going through this course is made up of volunteers from the Faculty Senate’s LRC (Learning Resources Committee) members. The LRC focuses on faculty as well as services from the Writing Center, Kares Library and ATLIS. Members of this pioneer cohort include faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Education, as well as the Writing Center and Kares Library. We’re particularly proud of this cross-campus collaboration. #aiineducation #athensstate #auburnuniversity

We are excited to share that our #DigitalLibrary now supports over 500,000 incarcerated learners in the U.S. This milestone marks a substantial step towards educational equality, providing vital academic materials to a historically neglected community.
