Participants will examine how academia and industry can equip students to thrive in an AI-driven workforce by combining AI and technical literacy with the adaptability, leadership, and uniquely human skills needed to innovate, collaborate, and lead in a rapidly evolving world.

You'll hear from Michael Fox, Dean of the College of Natural Sciences, Keith Marzullo, Dean of the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences, alongside faculty and industry executives, including David Jensen, Professor for the Manning College, Emily Nutwell, Director of Experiential Learning for the Manning College, Erik Moore ’99, Vice President, Data and Software Engineering, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Mike Tarselli '03, Chief Strategy Officer, Scitara Corporation. Additional panelists will be announced soon.

This event will include food and beverages, as well as ample opportunities to network with fellow alumni and friends before and after the Fireside Chat.

There is no cost to attend, though you are invited to consider making a gift to the College of Natural Sciences Experiential Learning Fund or the Computer Sciences Experiential Learning Fund. Your generosity helps create life-changing opportunities for students through internships, research, and other hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for success.
