AI Ready: What Students Need to Know Now

AI is already reshaping how students learn, apply to college, and complete assignments once they get there. Are we preparing them to use it wisely?

Join us for a powerful conversation with experts from K–12, higher ed, and industry on how to guide students toward ethical, effective use of AI—starting in high school.

Speakers:

• Dr. Fran Newberg, Deputy Chief, Office of Educational Technology, School District of Philadelphia
• Dr. Pamela McCauley, Dean, School of Engineering, Widener University
• Nasser Jones, AI Should Be For All, Bend The AI Curve

We’ll explore:
• How colleges are addressing AI in coursework and academic integrity
• What students need to know now to avoid misuse
• How AI can support—not replace—learning and creativity

Let’s equip our students for the future, together.
