Cornell's AI & The Future of Work Summit will take place Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 9:00am – 11:45am in the Memorial Room of Willard Straight Hall. Hosted by the Cornell AI Initiative and University Career Development, the summit brings together employer partners, faculty, and campus AI leaders for a morning of dialogue on hiring and the world of work — and how Cornell is preparing students to thrive in an AI-ready workforce. With 170+ employers already on campus for Cornell Career Fair Days, it's a timely opportunity for faculty to hear directly from industry and to share how Cornell is innovating teaching, research and student learning across our campus.

The morning includes:

• A facilitated conversation featuring University Provost Kavita Bala and Vice Provost for Artificial Intelligence Strategy Thorsten Joachims on how Cornell is leading in AI
• A faculty panel on how AI is being integrated into the classroom and student learning
• An employer panel featuring peers from a range of industries discussing AI's impact on hiring and entry-level roles

Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be served.

Please register by completing this form by September 14^th so we can plan accordingly. We look forward to seeing you there!
