University Communications is gathering information about research and other projects across campus that involve or apply artificial intelligence. The work can be supported externally or internally, related to the work of a University center or a specific lab, or designed to maximize teaching and learning; it can be interdisciplinary or not. We are hoping to learn as much as we can to develop a content editorial calendar for 2024-25. If you are interested in being part of this process, please email susan.messina@charlotte.edu by Friday, May 24.

Applications for the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute’s sixth cohort of faculty fellows is now open. Gambrell Faculty Fellows research issues related to economic mobility and quality of life in the Charlotte region, with support from The Gambrell Foundation. And, for the first time, the program is seeking applications for a Senior Faculty Fellow who will support Gambrell Fellows and plan programming with Institute staff. This year, the Gambrell Faculty Fellows program will fund up to six projects with grants up to $18,000 each. The fellows will join a growing group of researchers contributing to our community’s ongoing search for solutions that could foster greater equity. Previous cohorts of Gambrell Faculty Fellows include faculty from seven colleges and 22 different academic disciplines. More information.
