AI Tools For Student Affairs: Reclaiming Time For Yourself & Your Students

Tuesday, June 10, from 1-2 p.m. ET

Student Affairs professionals face increasing workloads that detract from meaningful student interactions. AI tools (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot) offer practical solutions to streamline routine work, allowing staff to reclaim time for high-impact student engagement. As budget constraints continue across higher education, these tools provide cost-effective ways to enhance productivity without additional staffing. This presentation uniquely addresses the pressing need for efficiency within Student Affairs contexts, going beyond generic productivity tips to focus on applications tailored to residence life, academic advising, career services, and student activities. Participants will discover how AI tools can transform daily workflows without requiring technical expertise, enabling them to reclaim time for high-impact engagement amid budget constraints. Participants will walk away with practical, ready-to-use prompts designed explicitly for common Student Affairs tasks, frameworks for maintaining personal authenticity while leveraging AI assistance, clear guidelines for ethical AI implementation in student communications, and customizable templates for frequently needed documents.

First-Year Transition Issues: How Advisors Can Positively Impact A Student’s First Term

Thursday, June 12, from 1-2:30 p.m. ET

When academic advisors set clear expectations on common speedbumps such as the financial aid process or taking online classes, students have a greater chance to succeed. The reality is that students are enrolling in college who are not fully equipped to manage their new set of expectations. Many have never had to apply to go to school before. Most have not taken an online class or had to be a self-starter when it comes to their assignments. There is a gap between what students think they know about college and what they need to know. Join us as we discuss evidence-based best practices academic advisors can immediately use to equip high school students to negotiate the challenges they will encounter as soon as they arrive on campus. Although everything discussed will be theory-based, the primary focus of the discussion will be applications-oriented. Examples will show how the strategies explained can be effectively implemented in a diverse range of settings.
