Cuse AI’s Faculty Network
We aim to build with professors, not just learn from them.
Our cross-college Faculty Advisory Board guides, challenges, and supports Cuse AI as it grows. By connecting students and faculty from the start, we are creating a truly collaborative organization.
This network serves as mentors, seminar speakers, and strategic advisors who share our commitment to the future of AI and student-led innovation at Syracuse.
