By providing strategic and thought leadership in integrating AI competency across the educational experience, the Vice Dean/Vice President will ensure that our academic programs remain workplace-relevant and at the forefront of innovation. This role will advance the institution’s goals of fostering AI literacy and ethical AI use, and of preparing graduates to lead in a rapidly changing legal environment.
