Description: Community Colleges serve a diverse and unique student population. Students can range from first gen, to working students; both traditional age and non-traditional age. This dynamic often results in a high volume of personalized inquiries and needs as it relates to those specific students. In this session, we hear about Volunteer State’s experience with the implementation of artificial intelligence into their communications mix to improve student access to information immediately, when they need it. Terry Bubb, Director of Advising, will discuss how they have enhanced their student support using AI, while creating a meaningful student advising system that provides real-time solutions for students. We will discuss the impact of reduced state funding and internal staffing changes/promotions as it relates to the chatbot and how it has provided consistency for the students through attrition. We will examine the use case of the tool on their public facing site, and expansions made throughout their institution, utilizing features like live-chat to meet student needs. This session will discuss the volume of inquiries supported by the chatbot, the implementation process, the impact of live-chat for both students and staff alike, and the analysis of real time AI data for continued process improvement. Additionally, conversation will cover future plans to extend access to the bot within the student web portal/mobile app. Audience engagement will take place through polls, conversational Q&A, and relevant use case discussions.
