Wednesday May 20th | 4:30–7 PM
EB Atrium | 1930 SW 4th Avenue
Join us for our free Spring Maseeh Exchange, and see how advances in AI are being applied to real-world challenges at Maseeh College. As these technologies move from research into everyday use, they are reshaping how engineers, scientists, and organizations approach design, analysis, and decision-making. Across disciplines, our researchers are translating complex information into practical decisions — improving systems, informing design, strengthening infrastructure, and expanding what’s possible through thoughtful application of emerging technologies. Spring features the works of A Creative and Emerging Technology Institute (CETI). This event brings our community together to explore the role of creativity, critical thinking, and technical expertise in shaping solutions that matter.
