Information

Understanding and addressing the needs of students, faculty, and staff is not just important—it's essential for institutional success. But how can colleges and universities do this proactively, equitably, and without bias? This session will explore the transformative impact of listening to campus voices and how it can drive meaningful change. Leveraging advanced AI-driven analytics, institutions can uncover critical insights into student engagement, faculty and staff retention, and overall well-being. By identifying patterns in sentiment, experience, and feedback across the campus community, institutions can proactively mitigate risks related to bias, foster psychological safety, and create a culture of continuous improvement. Additionally, this session will highlight AI’s role in refining listening practices—capturing diverse perspectives, identifying equity gaps, and addressing key factors such as academic fairness, hiring challenges, and overall campus climate.
