Building an Applied AI Institute

Overview of 2025 EDUCAUSE Poster Session

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping every sector, higher education institutions must lead with both vision and strategy. This presentation will share the journey of building the Applied AI Institute at Utah Valley University (UVU)—from its inception to its role today as a cross-disciplinary hub for AI innovation, research, and education. We will explore the foundational decisions that shaped the Institute’s mission and structure, including institutional alignment, strategic planning, and governance.
