Our Mission
The AI Strategy Council was formed at the request of Provost Monica Lounsbery and in response to the Kansas Board of Regents AI-related goals for the academic year. The KBOR goal asks that state universities submit a report detailing current initiatives, research, and instructional strategies related to AI in an effort to help identify best practices, foster collaboration, and position Kansas institutions as leaders in AI-driven education and workforce development.
WSU's AI Strategy Council comprises faculty and staff from across the university and involves hundreds more through focus groups, training opportunities and discussion groups, ensuring that all voices are heard on the issues surrounding AI.
The council envisions an academic institution where artificial intelligence (AI) is thoughtfully and ethically embedded into every facet of university life—enhancing operational excellence, enriching teaching and learning, and accelerating research and innovation. With faculty, staff, and students at the heart of this transformation, we strive to cultivate a dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready campus that harnesses AI to enhance human potential, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and advance the Wichita State University mission and priorities.
