TLC & CIT virtual Workshop: AI for Everyday Use 

VIRTUAL EVENT

Let's be honest--we all need more time and shorter to-do lists. Generative AI won't solve all of our problems, but it can lighten our load on the routine tasks we all sort of dread. 
This session, held virtually via Teams, will demonstrate how Microsoft Copilot is a safe, efficient tool to help with daily administrative work and our mountains of email.
