As a hub of creativity, collaboration, and learning, CIA strives to provide a holistic education that allows our students to enter the professional world with confidence, awareness, and critical frameworks for engagement. The growing presence of Artificial Intelligence in our tools and systems is undeniable. In response, it is our responsibility to foster an ethical and well-rounded understanding of this evolving technology among our community. We seek to equip students, faculty, and staff with critical tools to assess, question, and engage with AI on campus and beyond — and to empower our members to find and utilize the principles and tools that support their personal missions.

This philosophy was created by the Teaching and Learning Committee in 2024 and approved by Cabinet in May 2025.
