The latest cohort of Carleton Leader 2 has identified complex issues facing the university, which have served as the focal points for their Strategic Impact Groups (SIG’s). We invite you to join us in supporting and engaging with your colleagues and to learn more about each group’s progress, leadership insights and experience at the upcoming Landing Event.

SIG Presentation Abstracts

Fun, Connection & Belonging: A Campus Connection Initiative for Carleton University

Strategic Impact Group — Kitty Johnson, Vicky Wiens, Ryan Dube, Maria Walt

People are physically present on campus, but experientially absent. Events go underattended, informal connection is shrinking, and belonging feels fragmented. This session asks: what are the conditions for authentic human connection in an age of digital overload?

Drawing on research and an environmental scan across campus, our Strategic Impact Group will tackle one aspect that is driving disengagement, digital overload — and practical responses. The session opens with a short interactive activity that demonstrates its central premise: the conversation is the relationship.

Our key insight: belonging is a practice. Fun and play are evidence-backed drivers of engagement and belonging – not optional extras. Tackling this wicked problem takes local, repeatable actions. Small wins build ripples. Ripples build culture.

Untapped Carleton

Strategic Impact Group – Ally Sebben, Cole Van De Ven, Nick Saucier, Mastoor Al Kaboody

Across Carleton, there is a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise. But how often do we know who to turn to outside our own teams and networks? What could we accomplish if we made those connections easier?

Untapped Carleton explores how stronger connections across the university can help us share knowledge, learn from one another and find new ways to work together. This interactive session will introduce a shared learning and knowledge exchange that creates space for people to connect around common interests, challenges and areas of expertise.

Together, we’ll explore how creating more opportunities to connect can help us make better use of the expertise already within Carleton, strengthen relationships across the university and find new ways to move our work forward.

Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom: ​ An Educators’ Wicked Problem​

Strategic Impact Group – Dennis Kao, Robert Wharram, Lisa Runge-Faubert, Ian Pulsifer

The rapid advent of generative AI technologies has significantly altered the university landscape and for educators, representing both opportunities and challenges. In our presentation, we seek to illuminate both. Using Carleton University as a case study, we discuss the challenges facing educators, the development and philosophy underpinning the new AI Framework, and examples of AI implementation in the classroom.
