What You’ll Do
The Vice President will help shape organizational strategy, lead cross-college initiatives, and support the President in advancing Cuse AI’s mission to explore how artificial intelligence affects ethics, governance, communication, education, and civic life. You’ll collaborate with students across disciplines to organize events, guide outreach, and foster responsible, human-centered innovation.

We welcome undergraduate students from:

• Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs

• S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications

• College of Law

• School of Education

• College of Arts and Sciences

No technical background is required; just curiosity, initiative, and a drive to make AI’s societal influence better understood and more equitable.

This role is about shaping the conversation around technology, not just building it.

Overview
The ELP Director leads Cuse AI’s First-Year Leadership Program, a semester-long experience designed to cultivate the next generation of student innovators and leaders at Syracuse University. This role is perfect for a student passionate about mentorship, program design, and the intersection of technology, society, and leadership development.

• Coordinate with Cuse AI’s executive board and project teams to integrate ELP participants into ongoing initiatives, committees, and community events, ensuring their early involvement and growth within the organization.

• Track participants’ progress, encourage reflection, and foster a supportive environment that builds confidence and long-term engagement.

Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates are upper-level undergraduates who are creative, organized, and enthusiastic about education, mentorship, and leadership development. Technical AI expertise is not required—the focus is on empowering others to learn, connect, and lead responsibly in the age of artificial intelligence.
