Join us for this month’s Educating for Impact: Building World-Ready Students | UT System Webinar Series featuring our own David Han.

As AI transitions from passive tools to agentic systems capable of independent reasoning and action, higher education faces a pivotal design prompt: will this technology make our students more dependent or more decisive? This session examines the transformative shift from viewing AI as a disruptive tool for replacing human intelligence to embracing it as a catalyst for fostering deeper human agency. By exploring the concept of agentic AI in education, we 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 some practical strategies for redesigning learning experiences that prioritize critical thinking, digital citizenship, and the productive friction necessary for genuine student ownership and growth. Ultimately, we will reflect on the educator’s role as an architect of meaning and empathy, arguing that treating this technological moment as an invitation to redesign learning with heart can future-proof our students while making education more durable, universal, and profoundly human.
