When: Tuesday, June 18, 2024 9-3

Where: Touro University Cross River Campus, 3 Times Square, New York, NY 10036

Who: GSE faculty, candidates, alumni; Touro University faculty, candidates and alumni; school partners

Our theme this year is “GSE Shines! Excellence and Equity, combined with Innovation and implemented by You leads to Transformation.”
We, as educators, need to take a fresh look at how we diversify our teaching methods to suit the needs of various populations, as well as uplift the voices of those educators and scholars not often heard as leaders in their fields. This is an interactive learning conference for Touro University faculty, degree candidates, alumni, school partners, and community stakeholders. Interactive and poster sessions will explore transformative practices, technologies, and mindsets that make space for proactive agility in meeting the challenges of an ever-changing world. We envision a space for networking and the free and respectful exchange of ideas.


By creating a lived space where all voices are valued, the GSE Shines Conference embodies GSE’s mission to prepare a diverse cadre of highly qualified teachers, leaders, knowledge developers, and disseminators, in keeping with the Judaic commitment to social justice, intellectual pursuit, and service to humanity.

Dr. Jasmin (Bey) Cowin, an Associate Professor at Touro University, received the 2024 Touro University CETL Faculty Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching and the Rockefeller Institute of Government awarded her the prestigious Richard P. Nathan Public Policy Fellowship (2024-2025). As a Fulbright Scholar and SIT Graduate, she was selected to be a U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist. Her expertise in AI in education is underscored by her role as an AI trainer and former Education Policy Fellow (EPFP™) at Columbia University's Teachers College. As a columnist for Stankevicius, she explores Nicomachean Ethics at the intersection of AI and education. She has contributed to initiatives like Computers for Schools Burundi, served as a resource specialist for Amity University in Uttar Pradesh, India, and participated in TESOL "Train the Trainer" programs in Yemen and Morocco. Her research interests include simulations and metaverse for educators-in-training, AI applications in education and language acquisition and teaching, and distributed ledger technologies, with a focus on her 'Education for 2060' theme. In conclusion, my commitment extends beyond transactional interactions, focusing instead on utilizing my skills and privileges to make a positive, enduring impact on the world.
