Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning

2025 Summer Institute on Generative AI

When: June 16-20, 2025

Where: FSU's Big Rapids campus

Please join us for an engaging exploration of generative AI. Whether you are unfamiliar with or wildly knowledgeable about generative AI, and whether you are skeptical or enthusiastic about it, this Summer Institute will deepen your understanding of generative AI. We will explore how it works, its applications in and outside of higher education, available tools, and its limitations and ethics. Through discussions and collaborative activities, you will develop a philosophy statement about generative AI and design a project or activity that considers or uses generative AI in teaching, learning, research, creativity, or other aspects of your work. Along the way, we hope you will connect with colleagues and strengthen your professional community at Ferris.

All faculty – nontenure track, tenure track, and tenured – from any location are invited to participate.

To register for the 2025 Summer Institute on Generative AI, please complete the registration form.

 

Spring Newsletter

We invite you to peruse FCTL's Spring 2025 newsletter. In it, you can learn about our new Faculty-in-Residence, our workshops and sessions this semester, the Timme Grants and Just-in-Time Funding programs, an opportunity to shape new opportunities for mid- and late-career faculty, and so much more!

International Virtual Exchange

The International Virtual Exchange (IVE) is a collaboration between FCTL and the Office of International Education (OIE) that provides Ferris faculty and their students the opportunity to engage with faculty and students who are outside of the U.S.

Applications to participate in IVE are due by Friday, January 31, 2025; please submit your application to [email protected]. The application, which is available here as a Microsoft Form, is designed to help FCTL and OIE learn about the IVE project you have in mind, including the course, project goals, and support needed to ensure the project’s success.

We are currently seeking applications for IVE projects to be implemented in Fall 2025; all faculty – non-tenure track, tenure track, and tenured – are invited to apply. Applications will be accepted from individual faculty and faculty teams. If submitting as a team, each individual faculty member must submit an application.

Questions? Please reach out to FCTL at [email protected] or (231) 591-3541.
