HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF ART (HUMA) presents 516-463-5672 or hofstra.edu/museum
New Perspectives: The Museum of Art at 60 Through December 15
In celebration of 60 years of transformation, growth, and service, the Museum asked 10 individuals from the University and local communities to curate “mini” exhibitions. This exhibition celebrates the great range and quality of works in the permanent collection of more than 5,200 works of art, dating from 1500 B.C.E. to the 21st century, and demonstrates the Museum’s continued commitment to excellence. While it features only a small portion of the resources represented in the expansive collection, the depth and breadth of the collection is exemplified by the works that have been selected.

Presidential Symposium: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: FRIEND OR FOE?
Tuesday-Thursday, September 26-28
For a schedule of events, visit hofstra.edu/ps23 or call 516-463-5669. Artificial intelligence has rapidly entered our daily lives in diverse ways, from steering our vacuum cleaners to producing our weather forecasts. Meanwhile, academic researchers across disciplines are finding that a wide range of AI tools can contribute to analyses and even deliver new knowledge. And AI may even transform how colleges and universities conduct their non-academic business, from admissions to student services. So, what are the limits of AI, technologically? And what are our limits for it, ethically? What possibilities can we imagine for using it and managing its influence, and where – or should we – put on the brakes?
