About the Episode
About the Episode:
In this podcast swap episode, Dustin sits down with Ashish Fernando, Founder and CEO at EDMO as well as the host of the EDU Unlocked podcast, to unpack how AI is reshaping admissions and enrollment. From fixing broken transfer credit processes to building AI systems that prioritize both speed and student experience, Ashish shares what he’s learned from years of conversations with presidents and CIOs.
The big idea? AI shouldn’t replace humans in higher ed — it should remove friction so institutions can deliver a better, more affordable experience for students.
