We invite you to register for our upcoming Workshop on Advancing Theory, Research, and Practice for Generative AI in University-Level Computing Education, July 20, 2026 from 8 AM to 7 PM at Northwestern University's Evanston Campus.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies are rapidly changing how we learn and engage with computing. As we learn and teach in these changing times, what are the questions that we must be asking and what considerations do we need to keep in mind to support just, inclusive, and caring learning environments for students of all backgrounds and interests?

We invite researchers and practitioners who study or teach computing at the university-level to join us for an interactive one-day workshop. The workshop will consist of talks from four invited speakers interspersed with breakout sessions to continue discussion, plan changes to your classes, and foster new research projects and collaborations.

Our invited speakers are:

Kevin Lin (University of Washington)

Benji Xie (University of Denver)

Jamie Gorson Benario (Google)

Sepehr Vakil (Northwestern University)

Register here by July 10.
