The one question I heard over and over again in hallway conversations at ASU+GSV was “Do you think there will be a single presentation that doesn’t mention ChatGPT, Large Langauge Models (LLMs), and generative AI?” Nobody I met said “yes.” AI seemed to be the only thing anybody talked about. And yet the discourse sounded a little bit like GPT-2 trying to explain the uses, strengths, and limitations of GPT-5.

“If you're silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it.”― Zora Neale Hurston In 2020, large-scale protests were being organized across the country in response to the unjust murders of Breonna Taylor. Breonna Taylor’s story was yet another story of Black women and girls who succumbed to excessive force, unjust treatment, and ultimately, death at the hands of the police: Sandra Bland, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tanisha Anderson, Atatiana Jefferson, and countless others.

Most college or university presidents to have recently taken the helm might have had a grasp of their job expectations before the turn of the decade—or even when the pandemic went into full swing. However, none could have expected the speed at which it would force these leaders to adapt, or in some cases, reinvent themselves. No cohort of presidents might be more familiar with this than those leading small private colleges or universities in the Northeast.
