Romo Endowed Professor David Han will host a discussion on the transformative shift from seeing AI as a disruptive tool for automation to embracing it as a partner in fostering human agency. By exploring the concept of Agentic AI in education, he will illustrate how faculty can move beyond content delivery to become curiosity coaches and sense-makers who guide students in navigating an AI-enhanced world. The session will provide practical strategies for redesigning learning experiences that prioritize critical thinking, ethical inclusion, and the “productive friction” necessary for genuine student ownership and growth.

Co-sponsored by the Honors College.
