How do you meet the expectations of students who want personalized attention, value 24/7/365 flexibility, but would rather communicate in person? Evising, chatbots, screen-sharing, video conferencing, and case management tracking are a few futuristic tools gaining traction in academic and financial aid advising. As an added benefit, many offer the institution a vivid data picture of students by tracking previously untracked metrics. Join this session to hear from institutions who have implemented these tools. You'll learn what you need to know to get started and how you can measure success.
