Presidential & Provost Fellows
2024-2025
Presidential Fellows
The focus of our four inaugural Presidential Fellows is strategic thinking. They will work to:
- Develop a framework for addressing AI in the larger context of the education Iona provides.
- Foster discussion and collaborative inquiry around these ideas among faculty, staff, administration,
students, and outside partners. - Propose a practical process for the creation of evolving usage guidelines.
