League AI Fellows Program

ANNOUNCING NEW COHORTS FOR SUMMER AND FALL 2026, SPRING 2027!

Empowering Leaders to Shape the Future of AI in Higher Education

The League AI Fellows Program is a multi-month, interactive professional development experience designed for forward-thinking leaders in community and technical colleges who are responsible for advancing AI initiatives at their institutions.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes higher education, institutions need leaders who can move beyond exploration to implementation. This program is designed to bridge that gap—equipping participants with the strategic insight, practical tools, and structured support needed to lead meaningful AI transformation.

Through expert-led sessions, hands-on project development, and collaborative learning, Fellows will not only deepen their understanding of AI but also apply it in real time to solve institutional challenges. Participants will leave with a tangible, campus-ready AI initiative and a clear roadmap for scaling impact.
