Sixth Consecutive Year
Rochester Business Journal has again recognized SUNY Brockport President Heidi Macpherson in its annual Power 100 – a listing of the top 100 “power players” in the Rochester area. Dr. Macpherson was recognized on the list for the sixth consecutive year.
Macpherson, who has announced her plans to retire later this year, shared her thoughts on navigating change, prioritizing time to think and plan, and the importance of higher education in Rochester’s future growth in the annual publication, which was released on February 13.
She also spoke of SUNY Brockport’s work related to the use of artificial intelligence.
“For colleges and universities, it affects all aspects of our work, from how students learn and what opportunities they have to pursue once they graduate, to changes in day-to-day work for employees,” she told the RBJ. “That’s one reason why we’ve created a Generative AI Institute Team on campus to help guide and support colleagues by developing policies, practices, and specific guidance to help our academic community use AI tools ethically and well.”
