Strategic Integration to Maximize Productivity
As AI rapidly reshapes the higher education landscape, student affairs professionals face critical questions:
How do we harness AI's potential while maintaining our essential human touch?
Can these tools reduce burnout, or are they just another thing to learn?
How does AI change our work?
What should we protect from automation?
How do we lead our teams through this transition with integrity?
This session moves beyond introductory tools and tactics to explore the strategic integration of AI into student affairs work. Our presenter will examine the current AI landscape, address honest limitations, identify high-value time-saving opportunities, and explore how AI serves as a powerful augmentation tool rather than a replacement for the empathy, judgment, and relationship-building that define our profession.
This session is designed for professionals ready to implement AI thoughtfully, ethically, and effectively—with real talk about what works, what doesn't, and where the profession is headed. Gather your colleagues and join us on February 2, 2026, to get the answers you need to continue to evolve your integration of AI technologies in the daily work you do.
