Webinar | AI for the Everyday Higher Ed Employee

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.

Artificial intelligence is showing up everywhere. What does that actually mean for the people, not just faculty and leadership working across higher education, but the staff keeping things running every day? In this conversation-style webinar, Tynan Fischer, SVP of Learning Operations at Educate 360, sits down with Aadhar Garg, head of AI, to explore how AI is reshaping work across academic departments, student services, admissions, marketing, and more. They’ll dig into practical, real-world examples of how employees can use AI every day to save time, improve communication, and boost productivity—without needing a technical background. The session will also tackle ethical concerns, adoption tips, and what skills will matter most in the future. Whether you're curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to engage with these tools in meaningful ways.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Identify practical AI use cases for non-technical staff across departments
• Describe how AI can streamline communication and everyday tasks
• Understand common risks and responsible use of AI in the workplace
• Recognize how AI can support student success and staff efficiency
• Explore basic steps for building AI literacy and confidence among staff
