The Student Voice: Creating an AI Student Council

Saturday October 17, 2026 3:30pm - 4:00pm EDT

As noted at last year’s conference, liberal arts colleges are in a unique and important position to tackle AI and its effect on higher education. A key facet of this position is our ability to encourage critical thinking in our students across a variety of courses, research, and leadership positions on campus. To that end, and as my institutions continues to grapple with its response to generative AI, I formed an AI student council. The AI student council helps develop programming for students, serves as a sounding board for policies and procedures, and helps with communication. The council serves a complement to the AI Community Council, which brings in professionals, alumni, and other friends of the college, into conversation with Eckerd faculty and staff. This presentation talks about why and how to form the student council, setting goals and objectives for the council, and key takeaways.
