Digital Fluency Across the Curriculum: What the Refreshed Standards Look Like in Practice
Webinar As AACSB prepares to adopt the 2026 Global standards further emphasizing digital agility of business school learners, deans and faculty leaders are asking a practical question: how do we actually get there? In this fireside chat, QuantHub CEO Josh Jones sits down with two leaders at the forefront of that work — Jeff Lucas, who heads the AI task force at the University of Alabama, and Mark McNeilly, who leads the equivalent effort at UNC Kenan-Flagler. Together they'll unpack what it really takes to weave AI and data literacy into a business curriculum — not as a standalone course, but woven into marketing, finance, management, and beyond.
Jeff will share how UA has partnered with QuantHub to roll out modular, adaptive AI curriculum across its programs, and Mark will draw on his experience standing up UNC's AI task force to talk about the strategic and faculty-level challenges schools face. Whether you're a dean mapping out your accreditation journey or a faculty member wondering what this means for your syllabus, this conversation is built for you.
