SOCHE Announces New AI Webinar Series

 With increased interest in and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education, demand also has grown for better understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented in this space. To help higher education professionals navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, the Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) will feature a special AI Webinar Series for the 2026-27 school year.

The webinars, which begin in October and feature faculty and staff from SOCHE member institutions, examine the evolving role of AI in higher education, from classroom instruction and assessment to productivity and student success.

“Artificial intelligence is changing how we teach, learn, work, and support students, and higher education professionals are being asked to adapt just as quickly,” said SOCHE president Dr. Cassie Barlow. “This series gives our members an opportunity to learn from colleagues who are already exploring thoughtful, practical ways to use AI in their work. By sharing what they are learning across our institutions, we can help one another approach these new tools with greater confidence and purpose.”

Registration is now open for the full webinar series. These and all SOCHE-hosted conferences, workshops, and trainings can be viewed at www.soche.org/events. Registrants who cannot attend a virtual session live will receive a link to the recording following the event.

Councils & Committees

SOCHE is dedicated to advancing higher education through active collaboration, resource and knowledge building, and effective professional development programs. To accomplish this, SOCHE administers 16 active Councils and Committees. The purpose of a SOCHE Council or Committee is to provide an opportunity for representatives from higher education to be a resource for one another, share information and best practices, identify common challenges, and, ultimately, broaden awareness of the resources, services, and activities in higher education. SOCHE is also dependent upon the Councils and Committees for substantial input on annual professional development programs.
