In support of The Ohio State University’s recently announced AI Fluency initiative and to launch Google Productivity Services, university leaders are partnering with Google to host a free event dedicated to advancing the role and impact of AI in higher education.
Join fellow Buckeyes at Google Public Sector’s Data & AI Day, a premier event designed for Ohio State educators, researchers, and AI innovators. This is your chance to connect with industry leaders and colleagues from across our campuses to explore how AI is shaping the future of higher education. Discover real-world solutions to university challenges, innovative practices that enhance operations and student success, and practical strategies for bringing AI into the classroom.
Thursday, August 21

As the official launch of Google Productivity Tools at Ohio State, this event spotlights how these powerful resources can support our teaching, research, and operations. Attendees will get an insider’s look at Google Cloud, explore tailored solution deep dives, and see real-world use cases designed specifically for our university. Instructors can roll up their sleeves for a hands-on crash course with Gemini for Education and NotebookLM, unlocking new ways to bring AI into the classroom and research projects.
