Leveling Up Student Success One Prompt at a Time
These workshops helped students see GenAI as a learning partner, a career booster, and a creative collaborator.
As part of UNC University Libraries' SkillfUL GenAI Workshop Series, I created and facilitated virtual instruction led teaching aimed at helping students build the knowledge and confidence to use GenAI tools (Microsoft Copilot) ethically, creatively, and effectively for academic and career contexts.
Each session focused on a different real-world application of GenAI, offering students hands-on strategies, clear frameworks, and practical examples ground in academic integrity and digital fluency.
