Support Kendall's AI Journey at CEAMLS

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the 2025 CEAMLS Summer AI Research Institute (SAIRI)—an incredible opportunity to advance my knowledge in AI and its applications! As a junior Advertising major with a Computer Science minor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I’m passionate about the intersection of AI, marketing, and digital strategy. This program will allow me to gain hands-on research experience, collaborate with leading experts, and further develop my skills to make an impact in the field.

However, while the program itself is a life-changing opportunity, lodging costs are not covered and I need your support to make this experience possible. My goal is to raise $3,000 to cover housing expenses for the duration of the program.

Any contribution—big or small—will help ensure that I can fully participate without financial barriers. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would also mean the world to me!

Thank you so much for your support and belief in my journey. I can’t wait to bring back what I learn and continue pushing the boundaries of AI in marketing!

With gratitude,

Kendall Clayton
