Artificial Intelligence Hub at UNCW

About Our AI Hub

How We Support AI at UNCW

The AI Hub is guided by an advisory board composed of representatives from across campus. Together, we're building the Hub to connect the UNCW community, offer guidance and resources, support responsible AI use and help ensure AI projects align with the university’s goals. Whether you are new to AI or looking to do more with it, we hope this hub will help you feel confident as you explore AI.

The AI Advisory Board

The AI Hub Advisory Board provides strategic guidance for UNCW's campuswide AI initiatives. The board helps ensure AI efforts are practical, responsible, academically grounded and aligned with university priorities.

Representing key campus areas, including Academic Affairs, Faculty Leadership, Student Support, Information Technology, Research and Administration, the board serves in an advisory role. It helps identify opportunities and risks, coordinate campus efforts and support shared governance for AI at UNCW.

Looking Ahead

We will add new resources during the 2026-27 academic year. Please check back often as we expand the Hub and add more tools, guidance and opportunities.
