💡How do your peers use AI in their day-to-day life? Hear from Hanna Rodriguez-Farrar, Robert Lyman, and Edward Mills live from the Vineyard on how they're doing it:

Starting Monday wishing we were still in Chicago ordering our morning coffee via AI agent 🥲 But in the meantime, we'll be watching this recap video on repeat.

The Vineyard was named Top 12 Innovative Meetings of the year by BizBash and this February, we're doing it all over again in style. From February 9-13, we'll be hosting the Vineyard Residency with two sessions: Presidents and Provosts (9-11) and CTOs and CIOs (11-13). Learn more and apply to attend at https://lnkd.in/eYnQ3XXb.

FAQ: How do AI agents actually *do* work for our partners? In higher ed, results typically take months to materialize, making it challenging for teams to know what's working or iterate quickly. That's why we built Missions: give your AI recruiter a goal and have it figure out the best modality, time, and on-brand message to maximize student engagement. With some brainstorming and a few clicks, Katherine Davis and her team at Coker University launched two Missions: one nudging applicants to submit missing transcripts, another pushing admitted students to deposit. Results were near-immediate: 32 transcript submissions and 15 deposits, data points that enable Coker's team to make faster decisions and drive real impact for their next class. Missions give teams mid-cycle control. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/ePwJFAtU

Our partners at Alvernia University were recently featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education for their success in leveraging AI agents for admissions! Since launch, their CollegeVine agent has sent nearly 194,000 emails to more than 16,000 prospective students, boosting email open rates by 36 percent and contributing to a top-ten enrollment class of 459 first-year and transfer students this year, says Bret Krotee, associate vice president of admissions at Alvernia.
