Welcome back from Fall Break! It’s a busy time in Richmond (the Folk Festival, every wedding ever, etc.), so hopefully you got to enjoy it all. As we think about the rest of the semester (and the year, really), I wanted to highlight a program we’re facilitating as part of the Academic and Emerging Technology Pilot through the Provost’s Office. The AI Partnership Program is a year-long collaboration for faculty who want to dedicate time to figuring out what newer AI tools, including agentic systems like Claude Code and Codex, might do for their teaching or research.
