On March 27, UNLV will recognize National AI Literacy Day with a practical, campus-wide event focused on strengthening AI literacy in teaching, learning, research, and administrative work.

This 90-minute virtual session will introduce the current landscape of AI at UNLV and highlight how different areas of campus are engaging with AI literacy. Through a keynote and a series of lightning talks from colleagues across the university, participants will learn where AI is already showing up in campus practice and where to find resources and support.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with at least one practical step they can take to better understand or responsibly use AI in their role at UNLV.
