AI Playtime: Exploring AI for Work, Wellness, and Creativity
Learning & Development
Facilitated by Georgiana Negron-Long, Fresno State, for the Cross-campus Collaborative
Open to all employees
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we work, communicate, and care for our well-being. This interactive session introduces practical ways to use AI tools for productivity, creativity, and personal balance. We’ll begin with a live demonstration of how AI can support everyday tasks—such as writing emails, planning events, or generating images—before breaking into small groups to explore different AI tools firsthand. Whether you're just getting started or already experimenting with AI, this session will offer actionable ideas you can apply immediately in your work and personal life. A session recording will be made available for participants who wish to review or revisit content later.
Participants please complete this brief survey to assess your current AI knowledge and usage prior to the workshop. https://fresnostate.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_06B3R1gKnxiff82

Multifaith and Cultural
Kristallnacht Remembrance honors the victims and commemorates the events of November 9–10, 1938, when a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms swept through Nazi Germany and Austria. Known as the "Night of Broken Glass," the attacks resulted in the destruction of synagogues, Jewish businesses, homes, and schools, as well as the deaths of at least 91 Jewish individuals and the arrest of 30,000 men, many of whom were sent to concentration camps. Kristallnacht marked a significant escalation in the Nazi regime's persecution of Jews, foreshadowing the Holocaust. Remembrance events often include educational programs, memorial services, and reflections on the importance of combating hatred and preserving human rights.
