NACAC Recap Series Event

As AI rapidly becomes a tool of choice for students navigating the college admission process, many are using it without guidance — creating a landscape ripe for misuse, ethical gray areas, and the potential erosion of student voice. This session tackles the pressing need for college counselors to proactively guide students in ethical AI use, ensuring that technology supports rather than replaces critical thinking and authentic self-expression. Drawing from real-world experience, we’ll share practical strategies for integrating AI into the college process in a way that upholds student ownership and aligns with traditional advising goals. Attendees will learn how to craft effective AI prompts, explore student-facing exercises that enhance rather than diminish personal reflection, and learn how to shape AI use in ways that preserve intellectual growth. Whether you’re AI-curious or already experimenting, this session will equip you with the tools and ethical framework to help students use AI responsibly — and with purpose.

Registration coming soon!
