​About This Fireside Chat:

​Students are learning AI, machine learning, and generative AI at an unprecedented pace. Yet many institutions are still exploring how to create meaningful opportunities for students to apply these skills in real-world settings.

​Campus employment presents a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical experience. By integrating AI-related projects and responsibilities into student roles, institutions can help students build confidence, strengthen career readiness, and develop skills that are increasingly valued in today's workforce.

​In this fireside chat, Meenakshi Baker, Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives and Planning at New York University, joins Brandon Mitchell, Co-Founder and CEO of WriteSea, for a conversation on how institutions can create pathways for students to apply their AI, ML, and GenAI learning through campus employment opportunities.

​Drawing from her experience leading strategic initiatives in higher education, Meenakshi will share insights into the challenges, opportunities, and emerging approaches institutions can use to help students translate AI knowledge into practical experience.
