Summer of AI 2025 at CITL: Events, Panels, and Workshops

Don’t miss the chance to attend a Summer of AI event! Throughout this summer, we at CITL, along with our campus partners, had the opportunity to host dynamic discussions where each attendee gained a wealth of knowledge about Gen AI. Several sessions and workshops focused on the use of specific AI and LLM tools, how AI is covered by copyright law, and students' use of AI to enhance study skills and career development. We hope you are able to attend a future session. View the Summer of AI Calendar.
