Community of Practice

In the summer of 2026, CU Denver AI faculty fellows convened 25 faculty members as part of a six-week community of practice, to enable dedicated time for faculty to develop discipline- and unit-specific guidance around generative AI, and to develop a campuswide network of informed liaisons. They produced a report detailing their efforts and recommendations in August.
