The Magazine for
Linfield University
ON THE COVER
Given the theme of this issue, it may not come as a surprise that we used artificial intelligence (AI) to design the cover. How that design process worked – or did not – becomes an aspect of the information we are conveying with the package of stories.
Higher education’s high-tech future
Exploring how technologies are enhancing the way we teach and learn.
Special Features
AI in education
Members of the College of Arts and Sciences, including Dean Gennie VanBeek, were asked to share their thoughts on AI, its impact and its current and future applications in higher education.
A Copilot in education
Linfield should prepare for a seismic change that will bring generative AI technology fully front-and-center by the end of 2023 — the integration of the ChatGPT-like Copilot in all Microsoft 365 products.
Assessing process instead of product
Artificial intelligence tools are nothing to be feared.
The real-world application of virtual reality

Campus Stories
Scanning history
Digitizing yearbooks makes Linfield’s history more accessible and connected.
Keeping the faith
I want students to come here and grow in their own faith tradition, whatever that is, AND learn about others. Inclusion is important to both of us.”
