In an ever-evolving world, the ability to imagine and build a shared future is more important than ever.

Today, I’m thrilled to speak with two incredible leaders driving this work forward: Sangita Shresthova, co-founder of the Civic…

If you’ve served on a faculty senate in the past two years, you’ve probably sat through some version of the same meeting: Take-home exams are unusable. Discussion posts show eerie sameness. Someone proposes mandatory in-person midterms. The instructional design team explains what the LMS can and cannot detect. A frustrated student representative asks, “Are we trying to stop this or adapt to it?” You leave those meetings with the same uneasy feeling: We are treating generative AI as an academic integrity problem, when it’s actually something more destabilizing.

[ad_1] LaPointe Top, Dries Van Noten Pants, Prada Bag, Irene Neuwirth Earrings For seasons, restraint may have shaped the conversation, but spring shifts the focus to print, confident, saturated, and unapologetically visible. This isn’t about barely-there florals or restrained motifs. It’s about scale, depth of color, and patterns that carry movement and intention. Designers are leaning into amplified blooms, sweeping abstracts, and bold compositions rendered in high-impact palettes.
