SUMMARY:WiCyS December Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick- \nSomething new entered our world in November 2022 — the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative\, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own\, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment\, or even replace\, human thinking. Through his writing\, speaking\, and teaching\, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI\, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world. \nIn Co-Intelligence\, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker\, co-teacher\, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education\, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines\, and why it’s imperative that we master that skill. \nMollick challenges us to utilize AI’s enormous power without losing our identity\, to learn from it without being misled\, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide ranging\, hugely thought-provoking\, optimistic\, and lucid\, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar | Dear Day One: Real Talk from First Jobs and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Starting your first job is equal parts exciting\, confusing\, and a little overwhelming. From the unexpected surprises on day one to figuring out which skills actually matter (hint: it’s not always the ones listed on your resume)\, the journey from “new hire” to confident contributor is full of lessons that no one really teaches you. \nIn this panel with WiCyS Strategic Partner\, Bloomberg\, we’ll dive into real stories and insider advice that professionals wish they had when starting out. We’ll talk about the skills that make the biggest difference\, how to adapt quickly to a new organization\, team and culture\, as well as the roles that mentors\, managers\, and peers play in shaping your growth. Most importantly\, we’ll unpack the unspoken rules of the workplace — those things you won’t find in an onboarding guide but which can define your career trajectory. \nWhether you’re about to start your first role or already navigating early career challenges\, this conversation will give you a candid\, relatable look at what it really takes to thrive in today’s workplace. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:WiCyS | DIRC25: Merit + Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Now in its eighth year\, the DIRC series remains the premier forum for bridging rigorous research and real-world application in the pursuit of more inclusive and successful organizations. DIRC25 marks a bold evolution. In response to today’s increasingly polarized climate\, we are reframing the conversation around two universally relevant priorities: Merit and Inclusion. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s focus will be on Merit + Inclusion.\nMerit—when clearly defined and supported by data—ensures that opportunity and advancement are based on capability and contribution\, not identity. Inclusion ensures that nothing interferes with an individual’s ability to contribute fully in the workplace. Together\, these principles form the foundation of high-performance organizations where everyone can thrive. \nThrough TED-style talks\, disruptive conversations\, multidisciplinary panels\, and innovative research presentations\, DIRC25: M+I brings together thought leaders\, researchers\, and practitioners from across sectors to explore how organizations can measure and enhance both merit and inclusion in meaningful\, actionable ways\, to create true meritocracies for all. \n\n\n  \nRegister HERE and use code D25-WICYS for a 20% discount
