LaGuardia’s AI, Pedagogy & Curriculum initiative connects the college’s AI conversations and faculty-led projects through a shared, equity-centered framework for teaching and learning with generative AI. Built during the 2025–2026 academic year through campus-wide dialogue — workshops, institutes, a book group, surveys, and focus groups — this work bridges what we already know with what we’re discovering together, opening space for dialogue, experimentation, and shared learning across the campus.

Using GenAI at LaGuardia: A Student Guide — LaGuardia’s framework for students, released June 12, 2026. Faculty resources, including a teaching companion and an assignment library, are coming Fall 2026.

Year One: 2025–2026

• October 2025: Launched the GenAI Advisory Board
• November 2025: Introduced the GenAI team and goals at the college-wide Instructional Staff meeting, with two breakout discussions inviting broad campus participation; launched this resource hub
• November 2025: Wrote and secured grant funding for the inaugural GenAI Institute, the development of the FYS GenAI Literacy modules, the Using GenAI at LaGuardia: A Student Guide, the GenAI book group, and 2 professional development institutes for June 2026
• January 2026: Hosted LaGuardia’s Inaugural AI Institute, Navigating AI at LaGuardia: Shared Map, Different Lines, engaging 120 faculty and staff across three audiences: those who prefer not to use AI, those who are curious, and those ready to use it responsibly
• February 2026: formed the team to create GenAI Literacy modules for the First Year Seminar
• Spring 2026: Gathered student and faculty input; hosted a three-session GenAI book group; drafted the college-wide framework
• June 2026: Hosted the FYS GenAI Institute and the Using GenAI at LaGuardia Institute, preparing faculty to teach with the new curriculum and framework; released Using GenAI at LaGuardia: A Student Guide

What’s Next

In 2026–2027, we’ll support faculty in putting the guide into practice, launching Teaching with the Guide and an Assignment Library of faculty-created models. We’ll pilot the FYS GenAI Literacy modules. We’ll review and update the guide with the Advisory Group at the end of each semester.

Have a resource to share or a suggestion? We’d love to hear it.

Why This Matters in Higher Education

AI is reshaping research, teaching, writing, creative practice, and the workforce. LaGuardia’s approach centers:

• Human expertise: AI enhances learning; it does not replace human judgment or creativity
• Equity: ensuring all students develop AI literacy, not only those with early access
• Ethical use: modeling responsible academic and professional practices
• Critical thinking: students evaluate and question AI, not accept it at face value
