AI@Iona
MEETING THE AI MOMENT
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence as a force in all sectors of commerce and culture demands that higher education take a close look at the challenges and opportunities it presents across all disciplines.
This is a challenge Iona gladly accepts. We do not look at AI as an existential threat, but as a welcome opportunity to deepen and extend the teaching and learning that are core to our mission. AI@Iona, an initiative of the Gabelli Center for Teaching & Learning, supports our institutional response to this historical development.
Explore AI@Iona’s resources to find tools and events that place both theory and practice in thoughtful educational and ethical contexts.
The rise of AI challenges us to recognize the core motives of our mission as a university and our vocations as educators. More importantly, it gives us the opportunity to reaffirm both.
Gabelli Center Inaugural Conference
THE FUTURE OF TEACHING
Writing, Reading and Thinking in the Age of AI
Why write, why read, why think when machines seem able to do all three so easily?
These questions will be front and center as participants on the front line of teaching core skills share theory and practice on how educators can meet the moment. Keynote address by John Warner, author of More Than Words: How to Think about Writing in the Age of AI, will be followed by presentations on writing and reading pedagogy, as well as a special panel detailing Iona’s pioneering work in infusing data science across the curriculum.
Free for all educators and open to public.
Date: Friday, September 26, 2025
Time: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Minor in Artificial Intelligence
Iona University is preparing students for a world in which artificial intelligence touches every industry. Students of all majors are encouraged to explore the Artificial Intelligence (AI): Foundations and Applications Minor to gain familiarity and expertise with the foundational principles, latest tools and best practices associated with AI.
What has been most encouraging is that many people who initially found AI threatening, or were skeptical of its utility, have been surprised and energized by the fresh perspectives they are discovering by working with AI tools. AI@Iona aims to spread that energy to foster campuswide attention to the possibilities of AI.
