“We are thrilled to be launching our new Biola EngageX series,” said Dr. Michael Arena, the dean of the Crowell School of Business. “Throughout our upcoming series, Crowell School of Business will engage in a world driven by AI, so we can shape its human value — not be shaped by it. In doing so, we can use AI to amplify what makes us uniquely human: creativity, authenticity and morality.”
