AI in Action: A Conversation With League AI Fellows

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how community colleges teach, support students, and operate—but turning possibility into practice requires intention and leadership. In this engaging panel, graduates from the League AI Fellows Program share firsthand experiences using AI at their institutions, from early exploration to real-world application. Panelists discuss what motivated them to engage with AI, how their colleges are approaching it today, and what they’ve learned through hands-on use. Through concrete examples, they highlight practical AI applications improving workflows, informing decisions, and supporting students and staff, alongside challenges related to culture, ethics, and trust. Conference participants will leave with grounded inspiration and actionable insights for advancing responsible, human-centered AI use in community colleges.
