About The Episode:

The fear is real: Can AI truly support student engagement, or will it strip away the human touch? For many in higher ed, this question looms large. But the reality is clear—when used right, AI doesn’t replace connection; it enhances it.

- How AI frees up time for personal interactions by automating repetitive tasks.

- Real examples of AI helping identify at-risk students for timely, human-led support.
