ANNOUNCING NEW COHORTS FOR FALL 2026 AND SPRING 2027!
Stop exploring AI. Start implementing it.
A multi-month cohort for community and technical college leaders who are done with committees that admire the problem. Five expert-led sessions, three executive coaching conversations, and one campus-ready AI initiative.
The Problem: Your institution has AI curiosity everywhere and AI capability nowhere in particular. Boards are asking for a plan. The gap between exploration and implementation is exactly where initiatives stall.
The Transformation: Fellows move from fundamentals to high-impact opportunity identification to a designed, piloted, presented AI initiative aligned to institutional priorities. Coaching sessions are placed at the moments leaders actually get stuck: early exploration, project design, implementation.
Every Fellow receives: Five live monthly sessions, three optional 30-minute executive coaching sessions, guided capstone development, cross-college peer collaboration, curated resources, and a certificate.
Investment: Member, $997 per Fellow; Nonmember, $1,500 per Fellow. Check your college's membership here.
