## Resource

Montana Tech just named its first Chief AI Officer, Professor Chad Okrusch, to steer the university through the AI revolution—helping students, faculty, and staff harness this tech without losing sight of learning. With AI reshaping jobs and education faster than anyone can predict, the school’s focus is on smart use: keep personal data private, own your work, and rethink assignments to measure thinking, not just output. Students worry AI might erode teamwork—key to campus life—but the goal is balance: empower students to use AI wisely while preserving the human connection that makes college meaningful.
