Graduate Students Host Summit Focused on AI in Business

Members of the College of Business are encouraged to pursue their passions and interests outside of the classroom. Students and professors alike are encouraged to bring their ideas to College leadership to pitch their concepts for funding support; a great example of all of this coming together was the first ever College of Business Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit. This event was spearheaded by College of Business MBA student Rae Karanjia and members of the Graduate Association of Business Students (GABS), and was made possible with a donor gift. The half day event included several national speakers covering a variety of AI topics, including how AI is shaping industries and careers and how to craft successful AI prompts.

“I want to congratulate Rae Karanjia and all of the other members of GABS for organizing this first-ever AI Symposium,” said ICCU Endowed Professor of Management Dr. Alex Bolinger. “They took the initiative to craft a very thoughtful and insightful program. They reached out to a variety of regional and national guest speakers who are at the vanguard of what is happening in industry. AI is emerging quickly, and our students are doing good work in pushing us to engage with recent developments in the field in order to prepare them for the workforce that they will be entering.”
