The Future of Agentic AI in Higher Ed

AI in higher education is at a crossroads. Institutions are moving beyond simple chatbots and automation toward agentic AI—systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously to achieve institutional goals. What does this shift mean for student engagement, admissions, and student success?

In this session, AI expert and innovator Ardis Kadiu will break down the key building blocks of agentic AI and how intelligent, goal-driven agents are transforming how schools operate at scale. Expect real-world use cases of AI-powered assistants handling everything from proactive student outreach to automated application decisioning—all without staff intervention.
