Ready for Round Two? Dr. Zach Justus Returns! Join us on October 30, 2025, in the
SBU Hilton Garden Inn. Buckle up your curiosity for a high-energy morning session
with the engaging Dr. Zach Justus as we navigate how GenAI is reshaping not just how
we teach, but what we teach. With real talk and questions that hit hard like “Are
students learning what we think we’re teaching?” This is your chance to rethink your
program’s true destination. Whether you're looking to pick up a few takeaways or chart a new direction entirely,
this symposium is your space to explore, reflect, and act.
Check-in and breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. in order to begin our program promptly at 9:00 a.m.
Registration will remain open until October 15 or until the event reaches capacity. If closed, please contact educationaleffectiveness@stonybrook.edu to request a spot on the waitlist.
Keynote Session - Assessment in the Age of Generative AI: Disruption & Opportunity
Dr. Zach Justus will lead an interactive session that challenges us to reconsider student learning outcomes in a world where generative AI can produce essays, code, and visuals in seconds. Together we will explore which outcomes have been disrupted, which are now more essential than ever, and how this moment offers a chance to realign what we teach with what we value. Through dialogue and table activities, participants will identify emerging opportunities to revisit PLOs, strengthen transparency, and prepare to hear directly from students about whether they are truly learning what we think we’re teaching.
