"Thanks to support from the Institute of Data Science, the Department of Writing and Rhetoric will offer a unique, paid training opportunity for faculty at the University of Mississippi during the summer of 2023. Eighteen faculty members will receive stipends of $1,000 each to attend a two-day summer institute in early June, where they will learn from colleagues about incorporating generative AI, like ChatGPT, into their courses.

This training is specifically tailored to faculty of writing-intensive and speech courses. The DWR welcomes applications from faculty across campus. Participating faculty will build AI literacy, and this first summer program will serve as a pilot to assess the skills and needs of faculty interested in teaching with this emerging technology."
