Student: AI Fellowship

Augsburg University is committed to helping our student explore their vocation. As a University with a calling, we welcome the unique gifts that each of our employees brings to our collective work, and we are committed to supporting our students as they seek to match those gifts with the needs of the University and our larger community.   

Student employment with Augsburg is more than a job - it is an opportunity for Augsburg students to gain meaningful work experience in a supportive setting that promotes professional growth, personal accountability, teamwork and collaboration and quality work that lives up to our mission of educating students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.  

The Augsburg AI Fellowship hires a small cohort of students to serve as thought-leaders and
change-makers on artificial intelligence at Augsburg. Fellows advise campus leadership on the
use of AI in higher education, develop peer-facing educational resources on AI issues, and
share their work at a Spring 2027 AI Symposium. Throughout the year, fellows build expertise in
AI ethics, literacy, and civil discourse.
