Program topics
Higher education in the 2020s continues to undergo tectonic shifts that will shape our future for years to come. Rather than see change as a threat, we can view it as an opportunity to build the stronger future we want for our students, our institutions, and ourselves. The future is not predetermined, and we have the agency to shape it through the actions we take now. Through the lens of Future Studies methodology, this presentation will encourage attendees to consider how the trends, issues, and events happening in higher education and beyond today will impact the success of future students. By understanding these forces shaping our world, we can anticipate the scenarios that lie ahead and take steps to guide ourselves to the future we want. You will come away with a better understanding of where student success is heading and how you can shape your institutions to best support the students of tomorrow.
How will AI transform higher education? This isn’t just a question for the future—the changes have already begun. From reshaping curricula to hyper-personalizing student support services, AI’s footprint in higher ed is growing fast. What do senior leaders need to understand about this disruptive force? Attend this session to hear our EAB experts answer that question and more. We’ll share our latest research, including reflections on the most common questions we’re hearing from your peers and discuss:
- Why ChatGPT and other generative AI tools mark a new era in AI capabilities
3 common misconceptions about AI and why they are not true
The biggest opportunities AI presents for higher education
How leaders across higher education are considering the potential risks and rewards of AI
