“MILLERBOT” HELPS STUDENTS FIND COURSE CLARITY Dr. Chris Miller, Senior Professor of Biblical Studies, began creating custom GPT tools after noticing that his students were already using AI to study for his classes but were often receiving inconsistent or misaligned answers. Setting out to provide reliable, course-connected support that extended his teaching beyond the classroom, he has developed tools that allow students to ask questions, receive feedback on assignments, and practice their skills with guidance. Dr. Miller has found that AI dramatically reduces creative teaching barriers like time, scale, and technical complexity, making it possible to create high-quality learning resources quickly. Much of his learning came through experimentation along with feedback from students and colleagues. Dr. Miller stresses that the real challenge is no longer whether something can be built but how creatively and intentionally AI can be used to better serve students and deepen learning. CAREER SERVICES AI GUIDANCE HELPS STUDENTS WITH ROLE-BASED INTERVIEW PREP Cam Arminio, Associate Director of Career Services, has found that ChatGPT can move beyond basic job-search help to function as a practical career coach. He teaches students to use AI to identify the skills employers are seeking based on the job description and compare those skills to their résumés to help them prepare more targeted, role-based interview responses. Students are learning to communicate their value more clearly and strategically and use language their interviewers will connect to. For students, Cam recommends using ChatGPT to refine emails, strengthen résumés and LinkedIn profiles, and help boost critical thinking when developing answers. Used effectively, AI can also support professional growth by helping users build development plans and roleplay interviews. The key is to stay actively involved, using AI to guide and challenge your thinking while ensuring your authentic voice and ideas remain at the center. 12
