At the forefront of technological innovation, Artificial Intelligence is driving significant advancements across various fields. To some, AI is a distant, ambiguous concept that hasn’t yet reached them. But here at the NMI, it’s a big deal. AI is woven into everything we do, from student projects to how our instructors teach. We know AI is the future, and we want to prepare our students as best we can. And we just happened to snag an award along the way!
We want to give a big shoutout to three of our very own tech superstars: John Weatherford, Chris Gerlach, and Tyler Mazurek. Recently honored with UGA’s inaugural Innovation in AI Teaching Award, we couldn’t be prouder of them.
This award, courtesy of the Office of Instruction, celebrates outstanding faculty members who’ve demonstrated creativity and innovation in leveraging AI technologies to enhance student learning and academic success. Recognized for their work in NMIX 4410: New Media Capstone, the three have transformed the game, using AI in ways that get students thinking outside the box and fostering an environment where creativity and critical thinking flourish. Congratulations, guys!
