Recently, the Public Education Foundation (PEF) announced a new partnership with the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), which aims to address the current teacher shortage in public schools. This, through a mentoring program.

University of Nevada at Las Vegas president Keith Whitfield hopes the artificial intelligence version of himself will serve as a more personable chat bot that can help connect students with resources and check in on their health and well-being.

The pandemic has brought on a new digital age with meetings, classes and even doctor's appointments going virtual.
