About the Episode:

Allison breaks down one of the most buzzed-about sessions from EduWeb 2025—Western Governors University’s approach to using AI and decision intelligence to stop student dropouts before they happen. WGU’s tech-forward system can predict, with 80% accuracy, which students are at risk of disengaging—within the first week of classes. But what makes this a must-listen for enrollment marketing professionals is how WGU’s playbook can be adapted for yield, melt prevention, and even student services across any institution—big or small.
