As artificial intelligence continues to reshape higher education, institutions face a growing need to support faculty in exploring, understanding, and applying AI in the classroom. At Ithaca College, we developed a four-tiered initiative to meet faculty where they are—whether they’re curious about AI or ready to redesign a course around it. This session will present details of this initiative, which blends theory, practice, and performance with a foundation in ethical, inclusive AI use. Our conversation will highlight the design of this scalable model, ranging from awareness-building and community learning to mini-grants, intensives, and full course redesigns—and share practical insights for institutions seeking to build faculty capacity for AI-integrated teaching. Attendees will leave with strategies to replicate or adapt this approach, along with an honest look at faculty concerns, institutional challenges, and the collaborative support structures that make innovation sustainable.
