    <p>Have you been seeing more announcements or emails related to AI tools or usage on campus? Do you have questions regarding the recent <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/a1d6fdd69d99dcacf5e551a5379496a9/698cbe27/group-documents/000/014/081/91658b10c5e1e1ef80902efc81bbaea0/2025%20UMBC%20AI%20Guidelines.pdf?1766154367" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">guidelines</a> that were shared on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the classroom? Would you like your voice heard, or would appreciate having student perspectives brought to the forefront of these conversations relating to AI policy and guidelines? </p>
    <br><p>The AOK Library would like to hear from you! If you would like to come together in a safe space to discuss AI use on campus, please stop by room 259 in the Library for two student only, student focused, in-person listening sessions happening soon (please see dates and times below and in our events page). Faculty will not be present, and conversations that occur within the space will remain anonymous to protect students' identities. All majors are welcome! </p>
    <br><p>There will be free pizza and drinks, and participants will be offered the chance to grab free swag, in addition to bonus library privileges! </p>
    <br><p><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/library/events/150208" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Session 1: Wednesday, February 25th, 12:00pm-1:00pm (Room 259)</a></p>
