As artificial intelligence reaches further into professional life, the dynamics of work are evolving. Which AI tools can streamline workflows, what ethical dilemmas arise in using AI, and how can professionals wade in responsibly?

On June 12, join the Evaluation Association of St. Louis (EASL) and the Data for Social Impact (DSI) initiative of the Center for Social Development for an interactive session with Brad Krueger, who will offer a candid, hands-on introduction to AI tools for social-sector professionals, evaluators, and researchers. Krueger will explore what today’s AI tools can do, from summarizing data to generating visuals, and which tools fall short. It will also feature discussion of ethical considerations, including data privacy and transparency, and of how to avoid common missteps.

Join us for a better understanding of how to integrate AI tools into workflows without compromising on values, and take a tool or two for a spin (no tech background required). Whether you’re optimistic, skeptical, or just curious, this session will help you move from questions to practical insights.

Join us at the Field House Museum on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM for a compelling Author Talk with Jan Jacobi, as he presents his latest work, Lincoln and Douglas. This gripping narrative begins in 1849, as Abraham Lincoln—believing his political career to be over—returns to law practice, while his longtime friend and rising star Stephen Douglas continues his ascent in American politics.
Jacobi explores how Lincoln, the quiet and determined “tortoise,” emerges from Douglas’s shadow to become one of the nation’s greatest leaders. Through the lens of their fierce rivalry—particularly over the issue of slavery—Lincoln and Douglas brings to life a defining era in U.S. history and the resilience that carried Lincoln to the presidency. Don’t miss this insightful look at character, conviction, and political transformation.

1904 World’s Fair and Bellefontaine Cemetery
Over 120 years ago, St. Louis welcomed 20 million visitors to the Grandest of World’s Fairs from April 30 through December 1, 1904. David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was vital in securing this event for the City of St. Louis. All eyes turned to St. Louis as the new century was on display in the fair’s larger-than-life palaces, and new technology was front and center throughout the Fair Grounds. In our presentation, we will identify and explain some of the key figures in the creation and execution of the 1904 World’s Fair. Those who are featured in these presentations are forever at rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum.

Make it a date night, a family night, or enjoy the presentation by yourself. Reservations are required, so please sign up today!
