AI Guidance Statement

We aim to cultivate creative and critical thinkers prepared to tackle complex problems. Writing is essential to this process, allowing individuals to explore ideas, actively learn, and refine their thinking. Skilled writers engage with writing as a tool for discovery, using it intentionally to deepen their understanding. While AI is one of many tools available to support the writing process, it cannot replace the creative and critical thinking that problem-solving requires. Instead, we encourage the ethical and responsible use of AI to enhance, not substitute, the writer’s choices, skills, and unique voice.
