  • 1.  Question: AI Leadership program

    Posted Aug 19, 2025 09:46 AM

    Hello all,

    I'm wondering if any of you have deep knowledge or just the inside scoop on a program my colleague received about a 10-week AI Leadership program. Essentially, you develop a roadmap for your library around AI. The email notes that it is organized by Crystal Trice and Steve Hargadon and is a cohort design, meeting 2 hours per week each week on the same day/time. They do not provide the cost of the program. It does target library leadership from what I can tell. 

    Please reach out if you know more. If you prefer to email me directly, schulte.109@osu.edu. Thanks!

    I can't vouch for the program but I've attended 1 or 2 webinars led by Steve Hargadon and he's really good.
