The Human Skills AI Can’t Replace: Systems Thinking
2026-04-08 12:30 - 13:30 | CITL, Room 511, Arts Center
Systems thinking is a cognitive skill that allows us to see how parts of a process connect, influence one another, and produce outcomes over time. As one of the uniquely human skills, it helps us recognize patterns, anticipate consequences, and make thoughtful decisions based on context rather than isolated information. AI can support this process by quickly generating information, identifying patterns, and offering possible connections, but human judgment remains central because only we can interpret meaning, weigh consequences, and decide how insights should be applied within complex human systems.

The Human Skills AI Can’t Replace: Adaptability
2026-04-15 12:30 - 13:30 | Online
In our final session, we will explore adaptability, a uniquely human capacity grounded in our curiosity to explore new ideas, our resilience in the face of challenges, and our perseverance to keep moving forward when progress feels uncertain. While AI can quickly generate information, suggest connections, and support problem-solving, it does not experience motivation, setbacks, or the determination required to grow through change. It is our adaptability that gives AI its value, allowing us to use it as a tool while the drive to question, recover, and persist remains a distinctly human strength.

Applied Learning Process & College Central Network Relaunch: Workshop II
2026-04-16 12:30 - 13:30 | CITL, Room 511, Arts Center
The department of Continuing Education & Workforce Development (CEWD) continues their series of workshops and trainings centered around Applied Learning and College Central Network. During this second installation, CEWD will provide examples of how Applied Learning experiences would move through our Handbook’s processes and procedures. We’ll also provide an FAQ and more in-depth instructions with College Central log-in and campus functionality. Lastly, we’ll look at our webpages that are meant to be career-oriented and applied learning focused to discuss how they’ll be redesigned to mirror these standard operating procedures and become more accessible and equitable for our student body as a whole.
Who Should Attend: Division Chairs, full-time faculty, student-facing staff and administrators (advising, admissions, financial aid).
