“AI holds great promise for higher education, helping students choose the right college, learn more efficiently, graduate on time, and enter the job market better prepared for the future… higher education must embrace the potential of AI, not fear it, using the technology to enhance student learning and the college experience — before it’s too late.”
― Mark J. Drozdowski [citation]

OVERVIEW
Everywhere you look, the conversation seems to be about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it will either make our lives immensely easier or it will ultimately be the death of us all. Higher education is often at the center of this discussion, although the focus generally is on the academic side of the equation – student affairs is often left out of the dialog altogether or relegated to a footnote. This is unfortunate because student affairs can benefit immensely from AI, once those in the profession recognize, understand and embrace its full potential.

In this webinar, we will explain what AI is, how it can be instrumental in the enhanced delivery of student services, how we can use the technology to better serve our students, how we can more effectively collaborate with our faculty and staff colleagues, how we can use it make our daily lives more productive, and how we can avoid the pitfalls that inevitably accompany the introduction of a disruptive and paradigm-shifting innovation.
