Every summer, around 400 student musicians entering grades 7, 8, and 9, spend a week at Luther College to study, explore, and perform music under the mentorship of Luther’s music faculty. On a given day at camp, you will take part in ensemble rehearsals for band, choir, and/or orchestra, instrument-specific workshops, a wide variety of classes, and private lessons. In the evenings, you won’t know where the time has gone by participating in evening talent nights, concerts, walks into town, and a variety of sports. The camp ends with a grand concert in Luther’s Center for Faith and Life.

Today’s computing power and the vast availability of big data are propelling the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at unprecedented speed, marking a new historical juncture between science, ethics, and politics. Through an integrated format of lectures, guest speakers, guided discussions, and experiential learning activities, this course enables you to explore both the scientific foundations of AI, from its early conceptual origins to emerging frontiers, and its ethical, social, and governance implications. In addition to theoretical inquiry, you will engage in hands-on exercises and applied projects designed to experiment with AI tools and applications, analyze real-world use cases, and critically assess the opportunities and limitations of AI across diverse professional contexts. By testing simple AI models and exploring interactive simulations, you will gain practical insight into how AI systems function, how they shape decision-making, and how responsible innovation can be achieved within evolving global regulatory frameworks.

With the creation of a new world order after World War II, the United States came to be the indisputable leader of the so-called Free World. However, over the past several years, new forces in global and domestic politics have called into question the role of America in a changing world. This has especially been the case since the COVID-19 pandemic. What will be the future of American leadership? What will happen to the Atlantic Alliance? Will other great powers—like Russia and China—fill the possible void? What will be the future of American ideals, such as democracy and freedom?
