The Center for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (CITE) is delighted to announce this year's seven Faculty Fellowship and Faculty Learning Community (FLC)/Community of Practice (CoP) Leadership Award recipients. Across the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters, these colleagues will study AI in their classrooms, bring faculty and student voices into campus AI conversations, and build communities around global learning, accessibility, and civil dialogue. Please join us in congratulating them!

Faculty Fellows: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Track
These Fellows will receive guidance and support from CITE, to study AI-enhanced teaching in their own courses and share what they learn with the campus.

• Elizabeth Joyce, Architecture and Design: Blueprints for the Future: Integrating AI into the Architectural Studio. Elizabeth is bringing AI-enhanced projects into ARCH 3104 Design Studio 1. She will study whether AI can strengthen students' AI literacy and project outcomes without compromising academic integrity and will build a database of AI tools for her department.
• Yang Song, Civil Engineering Technology: Building AI-Critical Engineering Judgment: Designing and Studying AI-Enhanced Assignments in CIVL 6143 Transportation & Highway Design. Yang is designing three assignment modules that ask students to check, correct, or reject AI output against professional engineering standards. The study will examine whether this approach sharpens students' design accuracy and engineering judgment.

Faculty Fellows: Institutional Leadership in Collaboration with CITE Track
These Fellows will work with CITE to gather faculty and student perspectives that will shape Alfred State's AI programming and policy.

• Janelle Varin, Library: Assessing Cross-Departmental Needs and Perspectives on AI Literacy. Through surveys and departmental "State of AI" conversations, Janelle will collaborate with CITE to capture how AI is understood, used, and taught across campus. The findings will become a set of recommendations to guide Departmental and Institutional AI programming.
• Angela Graves, Social and Behavioral Sciences: Surfacing Student Voice on AI: Cross-Disciplinary Accounts and Departmental Conversations. Angela will mentor a Student Senate project led by student Adel Hashimov. In collaboration with CITE, the project will gather student perspectives on how AI helps or hinders learning across majors, and those findings will feed into departmental AI conversations. Angela will also mentor SAT Faculty integrate AI responsibly in their courses.

Faculty Learning Community [FLC] Leaders

• Tamanna Kabir, Business: Advancing Collaborative Online International Learning @ ASC. Tamanna will lead a community that supports faculty in designing and running COIL partnerships with international collaborators and will curate shared resources for globally networked teaching.
• Kevin Hofmann, Architecture and Design: Advancing Accessibility and Inclusion in Teaching and Learning @ ASC. Kevin will lead a cross-disciplinary FLC focused on accessible, inclusive course design and help colleagues build practical resources they can use right away.
• Brian Saltsman, Social and Behavioral Sciences: Sustaining Civil Dialogues Across Differences in Our Community. Brian will lead an FLC focused on creating classroom spaces where students can take on difficult topics with openness, respect, and intellectual courage. Sessions will be built around shared readings and real scenarios.

Get Involved
Several of these projects are looking for participants. The COIL, Accessibility and Inclusion, and Civil Dialogue communities are recruiting faculty from all disciplines, and State of AI conversations will be coming to departments this year. Watch the CITE Weekly Mentor for sign-up details, or email cite@alfredstate.edu. You may also contact the three FLC leaders directly for more information about the communities they will be leading.

Congratulations to all our awardees. We look forward to seeing your work take shape this year!
