Higher Education Has Been Waiting for AI. Una Is Just Getting Started.

“ ‘The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller,’ I often remind my team at Unity Environmental University. ‘The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda for future generations.’

Melik Khoury

At Unity, we are crafting a new narrative for higher education, where institutions do not merely impart knowledge but also evolve alongside learners throughout their lives. While others discuss the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we have moved from contemplation to creation with Una, our innovative AI ecosystem that embodies technological advancement and fundamentally reimagines education itself.”

Scenarios

You walk into a situation with a full cast of characters. Each one has a role, a perspective, and no obligation to make things easy. You lead the conversation and work to uncover what you need. Where it goes depends entirely on the questions you ask.

Facilitating a Focus Group: Seaview

Conduct a virtual focus group with Seaview residents. Your goal is to understand their perspectives on the challenges facing their coastal town, practice active listening through relevant follow-up questions, and gather insights to inform your Sustainability Initiative Proposal.

Micah, what are your specific concerns about the development?

🌾 Micah
Thanks for asking. I have a few concerns that are really intertwined with our town’s sustainability. First and foremost, I’m focused on the state of our farmland and the potential for revitalizing areas that have been neglected. There’s a real opportunity to restore soil health through regenerative practices…

How It Works

Students enter a scenario designed by learning designers and subject matter experts. For example, a developer conducting interviews before proposing a sustainability initiative.

They interact with a group of AI personas, each with distinct perspectives, roles, and concerns. The student leads the conversation, brings people in and out of the room, and attempts to gain information or sway opinions.

At the end, the full transcript is collected for instructor assessment. They review what the student asked, how they listened, and how they navigated competing perspectives.

Why It Matters

AI has had conversational abilities for a while, but unlike generic conversations, Scenario experiences are designed by professional learning experience designers and subject matter experts. Because they use Unity’s own platform, they’re also energy efficient and safe.

Scenarios are valuable for how they ask students to take on the responsibility of navigating a situation, which is something most traditional assignments struggle to replicate.

The result: students practice judgment, active listening, and decision-making in a realistic context, not a multiple-choice simulation.

What’s New with Una

Your Guide Just Keeps Getting Better

Una doesn’t stand still. Regular updates mean better answers, broader knowledge, and a more helpful experience every time you start a conversation.

DEPLOYED WINTER 2026

Starting over every time you have a question slows everything down. Una now carries context from past conversations, so you pick up where you left off instead of repeating yourself. The more you talk with Una, the more Una understands where you are in your journey and what you actually need next.

DEPLOYED SPRING 2026

Each scenario is built by faculty around something real. You enter a room of people with distinct roles and competing concerns, and the conversation is yours to lead. There are no hints and no shortcuts. You work for every insight by asking better questions and listening to what the answers actually tell you.

Your instructor reads the full transcript when it is over. Not to grade your conclusion, but to understand how you thought. That is the part of learning that most assignments never get to see.

Still Have Questions About Una?

There’s more to Una than a few answers can cover. Ask away.

Una is Unity Environmental University’s always-on guide, built to expand what Unity’s advisors and staff can offer, not stand in for them. Una answers the real questions you’re thinking about the moment they come up. Degrees, courses, deadlines, transfer credits, how to even begin, all of it’s fair game. Ask anything, any hour, and Una will meet you where you are.

Anything about Unity. Programs, start dates, tuition, transferring credits, what studying online actually looks like, whether campus visits are an option, and everything in between. If there’s something Una doesn’t have on hand, you’ll be pointed to someone who does.

No. Una is for anyone curious, whether you’re exploring your options, comparing programs, or wondering how to make going back to school possible. Una can help you figure that part out too.

Because Una isn’t guessing. Una is built specifically for Unity, grounded in Unity’s own programs, policies, deadlines, and data (not general knowledge from across the internet). Ask a general AI about Unity and it might get details wrong or out of date. Ask Una, and you’re getting Unity’s real, current answers.

Always. Una handles the first questions and the late-night ones. Unity’s team picks up whenever you want a human conversation.

No. Talking with Una is just talking. You decide if and when you want to share your contact information or hear more from Unity.

Both. Una can answer your questions and walk you through starting your application – no need to hunt down a form or wait for office hours.

Una’s built to know what it knows and to say so when it doesn’t. If a question needs a real person’s judgment, Una will point you to one instead of guessing.

Within a conversation, yes – Una keeps track so you don’t have to repeat yourself. Starting fresh on a new day, Una will need a quick refresher.

Every good story needs a character. Una is Unity’s own, one of a kind, built from the best parts of every good dog you’ve ever met.
