Morehouse College and Leading Tech Company Sage Launch Program to Help Prepare Next Generation of Tech Entrepreneurs - Seite 3

Working alongside Morehouse’s academic staff, Sage and Morehouse developed and delivered Morehouse’s first Generative AI course during the 2024 Spring Semester. It is being supported by executive and technical lectures from Sage, in-person events, and student competitions. An expanded version of the course will be offered in the Fall 2024 Semester in addition to the new Micropreneurship curriculum.

“Morehouse students have been immersed in the bespoke Sage GenAI program in its inaugural year,” said Aaron Harris, chief technology officer at Sage. “Sage is one of very few companies that has dedicated expert resources working alongside students, intentionally designed to positively impact their preparedness for technology of the future. We’re investing in these students and the quality of their education. Through the curriculum we’re building, Morehouse students are learning skills to prepare them to be the next generation of leaders in AI-related careers.”
