For Faculty & Staff
Be Part of October Tech: Share How You Use ChatGPT
From improving workflows to enhancing teaching and research, faculty and staff across campus are finding innovative ways to use ChatGPT and create custom GPTs. As part of October Tech, we’re inviting you to share your experience.
Selected proposals will be featured in a session where presenters will have 5–10 minutes to highlight how they’ve incorporated ChatGPT or custom GPTs into their work. This is a great opportunity to showcase your approach, exchange ideas with colleagues, and help build a stronger AI-enabled community at CSUSB.
