MIS Quarterly<\/em>, with a strong commitment to scholarly rigor and quality, have also helped shape the field and earned the trust of peers,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\nMeanwhile Chen\u2019s award reflects an innovative approach to teaching and a commitment to preparing students for a rapidly changing technology landscape, particularly in AI, she continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cWei has been at the forefront of research and teaching on generative AI in the information systems field, including co-authoring two books and numerous papers on this rapidly evolving technology,\u2019\u2019 she said. \u201cAt UConn, Wei offered one of our earliest courses on generative AI and is developing a new course focused on AI workflows.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Recognitions Bring Greater Visibility to UConn Research Community<\/h2>\n
Both faculty members said they are extremely honored but also said their peers at UConn were instrumental in their success.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am truly humbled and deeply honored to be included among distinguished scholars recognized for their outstanding intellectual contributions to the information systems discipline,\u2019\u2019 (Xinxin) Li said. \u201cI am grateful to UConn, my academic home for the past 21 years, and to my colleagues and students whose support has made this achievement possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope this recognition will bring greater visibility to our research community and open doors to new collaborations and opportunities for our faculty and students,\u2019\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
Chen said he is proud that he and his colleagues are advancing business education.<\/p>\n
\u201cGenerative AI is changing how business gets done. And business education needs to help students understand both its possibilities and the judgment it requires,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cAt UConn, my goal is to help students apply AI to business problems while critically evaluate its results.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThis award recognizes that work through my textbook and the teaching materials I share with fellow educators. I\u2019m honored that this award brings national recognition to UConn\u2019s work in generative AI business education,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
