- Forays into AI
  Are you ready to revolutionize how you manage and optimize college facilities? Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept—it's here, ready to transform your workflows, elevate efficiency, and unlock new possibilities. Whether you’re curious, excited, or even hesitant, this forum is intended to be your launchpad into the dynamic world of AI. Join your peers in exploring how AI can change how and what we do while improving the experiences of both staff and students. Share your questions, successes, and challenges as we navigate this rapidly evolving technology together. Let’s transform uncertainty into opportunity and make AI a cool tool for shaping the future of higher education facilities. How are you making AI work for your campus? Forays into AI: I used Microsoft’s Copilot in Word to draft this introduction which I refined and to provide an image. Finally, I asked it “Imagine that you are curating a forum for college facilities managers and staff to encourage the adoption of AI. Make this call to action better and more inspiring.” That’s what I went with!
