Beyond AI Fluency: Ownership in the Age of AI
At the Sawyer Business School, we believe the most important questions about artificial intelligence are not technological—they are human. Our SAIL Framework goes beyond tool literacy to instill something AI can never replicate: accountability. From the classroom to the boardroom, our students, faculty, and research are building the next generation of leaders who don't just use AI—they own its outcomes.
Lived Experiences
Immersive learning is at the center of the Sawyer Business School experience, and the guiding principle of our IMMERSE framework. IMMERSE expands on Suffolk’s longstanding commitment to experiential education, preparing students for today’s business landscape and the complex societal challenges that impact our world.
Structured, immersion-based learning opportunities like global travel seminars, in-class and faculty-led student consulting projects, and strategic partnerships with global powerhouses like the Boston Celtics and iMotions help students develop adaptive problem-solving skills and gain vital experience collaborating with key stakeholders and communities across Boston and beyond.
