Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

7. Info Interview Approach
Hello Dion,
My name is Curtis Kuznecov and I am currently working towards my bachelors
of commerce at UBC. I have been selected to interview at your firm and have
been meeting Andrew Darcovich on a regular basis. He gave me your contact
information and told me you would be a great person to talk too. I was
wondering if you could spare anytime and have a quick phone conversation
with me? I would love to talk about your experience transitioning from studying
at UBC to working in New York and more about the desk you work at. Interest
rate swaps are something I don't know much about, but it sounds really
interesting. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Curtis Kuznecov
8. Info Interview Follow-Up
Hi Dion,
Just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to talk to me, I really
value the advice you gave me. It is always nice to hear from someone who
has gone through the whole process. I will keep in touch and provide you
with any updates regarding the recruiting process.
Many Thanks,
Curtis Kuznecov
Hi Curtis – happy to chat. We have Thursday off for US Thanksgiving so I
can give you a call in the morning or lunchtime PST if that works.

14. The Approach
Avoiding the awkward:
• Don’t interrupt. When
joining a networking
circle, wait for a lull in the
conversation.
• Never have food and a
drink, you need a free
hand to shake!
• Go with a wingman! But
not a Siamese twin
15. Introduce Yourself
Just simply say hi!
• Hi, my name’s Curtis, Curtis Kuznecov.
• Hi Sabrina, it’s nice to meet you. My name’s Andy.
Show you’re interested in talking to them
• Hi Andy it’s great to meet you as well. I was actually hoping to
chat with you this evening as I noticed on your LinkedIn profile
that you…and I would love to hear more about your experience.
Start the conversation. Ask a question / have them talk about
themselves / Stay positive
• Do you have any advice for students…looking to make the most
of their time at Sauder? …looking for a career in your field?
16. Continuing the Conversation
• LISTEN
• Be careful not to monopolize peoples’ time
• Listen for facts, feelings, free information and implied
statements
• Introduce others, tying them into the conversation
• Identify commonalities
• Ask open ended questions
17. The Graceful Exit
• Spend 5 to 10 minutes with one person; wait for a lull
• Excuse yourself kindly and assertively:
o “It was nice to meet you”
o “I’m glad you were here today. It’s been great
chatting with you. Thanks so much.”
o “I don’t want to monopolize all your time today.
Thank you for taking time to speak with me and I
hope you enjoy the rest of the event.”
• Shake hands and exchange cards or ask to connect
(if the conversation was meaningful)
18. Follow It Up
• After great conversations, send a personalized email or
LinkedIn request (or maybe an informational interview
request? )
Hi Sabrina,
It was so great to get the chance to speak with you at last night’s networking
event. I was really inspired by what you said about “building your personal brand”,
and I am looking forward to putting your advice into practice.
I would love to continue our conversation about your experience at YVR. I
understand that you are very busy, but it would be great to meet for about 20
minutes. Would you be available to meet on Monday or Tuesday next week?
Coffee is on me!
Thank you,
Alison Buchanan
20. 202 Networking Event Pet Peeves
1. Asking questions and not listening to the
answer
2. Asking rapid-fire questions so no one
else can speak
3. When a person’s outfit is distractingly
unprofessional
4. When students only talk about their
option choices or career path! Try
connecting over a common interest
beyond work and school
21. 202 Networking Event Pro Tips
1. Eat dinner beforehand
2. Do some research on the delegates, but don’t
get consumed in stalking every LinkedIn profile
3. Dress classy and comfortably
4. Have a few interesting questions / topics to chat
about ready to go. How do you want to be
remembered?
5. When all else fails, find a 202 TA and we’ll help
you join a circle
6. Head to an area that is less packed
7. Manage your energy – take a breather if you
need it
22. Action Items

course blog under assignments / resume and cover letter
Editor's Notes
Web to web – strong, firm handshake. Web of both hands should connect. Have them practice.
Eye colour – when meeting someone you should make enough eye contact to be able to walk away knowing the colour of their eyes
Comfy shoes – for girls! A lot of standing around so make sure you wear comfy shoes
Clothes that stand out – EVERYONE will be in black suits. It is important to suit up but change it up with cool shirts, ties, grey suit etc. No perfume/cologne, breathmints not gum, no coffee, long skirts.
Nametag – always goes on your right (the same side you shake hands with). As you go to shake someones hand to intro yourself that side of your chest sticks out more.
Smile – nothing worse than someone who doesn’t look interested or passionate or excited about the conversation. It is hard to say no to a smiling idiot.
Ask: What’s your strategy to approach?
First 2 points self explanatory
First point – approach across from the professional, not next to them because they won’t notice you.
Third point – go with a wingman at first. A lot easier, less stressful and more natural to engage in 3 way conversation. Often in 2 way conversation you spend so much time trying to think of the next question to ask that you don’t pay attention to what they are saying to you right now. With 2 of you there one person can talk while the other thinks etc…..BUT DON’T STICK WITH YOUR BUDDY THE WHOLE TIME. You don’t want the professionals thinking you are dependent and can’t function without them.
Repeat their name
ACTIVITY: try doing a handshake, introduction + a few opening questions
Tennis practice: keep the ball moving
Do we need examples of questions? Should this be a list or a link to more questions
OR activity to brainstorm good questions and share/ask each other
Demo this? Especially the business card ask. Or maybe have them try.
Reiterate that people at the event are unlikely to have business cards, but they can pave the way for a LinkedIn connection
