Linsky part of Governor's Teaching Fellows program
Dr. Lindsay Linsky, professor of education at the University of North Georgia (Â鶹ÊÓƵ), was selected as a Governor's Teaching Fellow for the May 2025 symposium "Artificial Intelligence in the Holistic Classroom." The symposium focused on tools, strategies and ethical practices for integrating AI into course instruction to develop students' capacity to understand and use AI effectively and responsibly.
"It was so refreshing to learn alongside 15 other AI innovators representing institutions all around the state, and the content was incredibly relevant and practical for modern higher ed classrooms," Linsky said. "I'm excited to bring all the sessions, activities and strategies I gained back to Â鶹ÊÓƵ."
As one of 16 faculty members from institutions of higher education across the state, Linsky was selected in a highly competitive application and review process. Each selected fellow was endorsed by their institution's president or provost and provided compelling evidence of instructional innovation. Fellows represent a diverse range of Georgia institutions and disciplinary fields.
