Tea & Teaching

Join us for a special Tea and Teaching conversation about AI technology and workplace expectations. As many of us are working with undergraduate focusing on their career trajectory, the role that AI might play in their hiring prospects has become increasingly important. Yet, many of us do not have industry insight into what kind of AI skills are valuable or what future employers expect of their new hires.

For this special conversation, we are joined by Jennifer Lenahan, Director of Career Explorations in Arts and Sciences and three of her colleagues who have worked with our undergraduates and recent alumni. Joe Ginese, Senior Manager of Rotational Programs for CVS Health, Robyn Ginese, Global Head of Leadership Enablement and Director of Executive Development and Joe Laranjeiro, COO of SurePepole, and Senior Advisor, Facilitator and International Partner, Conscious Business institute will join us to discuss the changing landscape of AI and the workplace and ways in which we can help support students in thinking about AI skills and their future career.
