About This Site

This website is sponsored by University Technology Services and the Villanova University Provost’s Office and developed under the guidance of the AI Working Group, a collaborative initiative bringing together faculty, staff, and students to shape the University’s approach to artificial intelligence.

Created by and for the Villanova community, this resource supports the University’s mission to integrate AI in an ethical, responsible, and aligned manner with our Augustinian values of Unitas, Veritas, and Caritas. It offers a central hub for exploring AI in teaching, research, administration, and workforce development, while highlighting Villanova’s leadership in mission-driven innovation.
