Advising and student services provide guidance and support for students on issues relating to wellbeing, inclusion, academic studies, career, and future aspirations. High-quality advising has been shown to increase retention and student success and new generative AI technology may provide a solution to the challenges of personalization and high student-advisor ratios.

Amid the many AI initiatives emerging in education, there is a need for more collaborative learning grounded in shared research and analytics on how to make GenAI effective in driving key educational, skilling, and career outcomes – especially for students who are not succeeding at high rates.

Campus Evolve is partnering with University of Central Florida, Indiana Tech, and Axim Collaborative to establish a research-based learning collaborative among institutions that serve low-income, first-generation college students. The initial focus is on improving holistic student advising.
