Building AI Agents That Actually Work in Higher Ed
This event qualifies for:
Higher education institutions are under constant pressure to do more with fewer staff, tighter budgets and growing expectations from students and faculty who want faster, better support. AI agents offer a real path forward, but most institutions are still stuck experimenting with disconnected tools that do not scale and do not solve the underlying problem.
This webinar will show how institutions like UCLA, Vanderbilt, MIT and Michigan are deploying governed AI agents that actually lighten the load. Learn how to automate the repetitive work that pulls staff away from students, connect existing systems like Banner, Workday and Salesforce into workflows that run without constant IT intervention and build the audit trails and access controls that leadership and compliance teams require for institution-wide deployment.
During this webinar, attendees will learn:
- How to identify the first high-value use cases that free up staff time and directly improve the student and faculty experience
- What governed AI deployment looks like in practice, so compliance, IT and leadership teams are aligned from day one
- How peer institutions are doing more with the same headcount by automating repetitive workflows across advising, admin and operations
- How to build internal champions who can scale adoption without creating new dependencies on IT or outside vendors
