Gemini for Education is transforming the way students and educators engage with AI, empowering over 10 million college students across the U.S. with tools and training that enhance learning, improve outcomes, and prepare them for the future of work. At the University of Hawaii System, which includes ten campuses and serves 50,000 students, Google partnered with the institution to launch Google AI Essentials—a free, five-hour training program designed to teach students and faculty how to use AI responsibly and effectively. “Providing this AI training is a valuable opportunity for our community to develop in-demand AI skills and stay ahead in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape,” said Wendy Hensel, President of the University of Hawaii System. Indiana University has taken a bold step toward AI fluency by making it a shared expectation across its entire community. Every student, faculty member, and staff member now has secure access to Gemini within a protected IU environment. Through the GenAI 101 course, learners are building and applying AI tools—creating study companions that quiz and coach them, workflow automations that simplify complex tasks, and role-play simulations that prepare them for leadership conversations. “This isn’t just about experimenting with AI. It’s about preparing tens of thousands of Hoosiers to lead in a world where AI will shape every discipline,” said Anne Leftwich, Associate Vice President for Learning Technologies and Barbara B. Jacobs Chair in Education and Technology. At the University of Maryland, graduate students in a finance class are using Google’s AI suite—including Gemini, NotebookLM, and AI Studio—to reinvent credit risk analysis. By analyzing two years of public data from 40 banks and 17 fintech companies, students developed a tool that assesses credit risk management effectiveness across institutions. “This project underscores AI's capacity to distill profound insights from complex quantitative and qualitative data, revolutionizing financial analysis,” said Dr. Clifford V. Rossi, Academic Director of the Smith Enterprise Risk Consortium. John Jay College partnered with Google.org and DataKind to create a predictive AI model that identifies students at risk of dropping out. By analyzing 75 key indicators—such as attendance patterns and grade fluctuations—the model generates a risk score for each student. Early intervention through personalized coaching has led to a dramatic improvement in outcomes: senior graduation rates rose from 54% to 86% over three years, a transformation nearly unprecedented in higher education. Arizona State University is leveraging Google Cloud AI to accelerate research and improve decision-making. The Knowledge Enterprise team uses the platform to run big data analytics, complex simulations, and machine learning models. ASU achieved four times greater accuracy in predicting student enrollment, boosting online registrations by 52%, and has significantly enhanced collaboration between researchers and partner organizations. These examples illustrate how Gemini for Education is not just a tool, but a catalyst for innovation, equity, and academic success. Institutions across the country are using AI to personalize learning, predict outcomes, and drive research forward—preparing millions of students for the future.
