Announcing the next "AI at Kent State" session with Salesforce, held virtually on Microsoft Teams! Thursday, May 23, 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. All Kent State staff and faculty welcome.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is perhaps the hottest topic in any conversation today. But does it make sense as a business strategy in higher ed? Do the AI solutions we're hearing about from our vendor partners (and everywhere else...) actually create strong value and ROI?

We welcome Salesforce leaders Tom Green, Dale Vander Wall, and Adam Franzen, to answer questions like the above. The Salesforce team will discuss how they use AI to find and reach out to the students best suited for our educational programs.

They'll also share how higher education leaders they work with are leaning into this pivotal moment to unlock greater staff efficiencies and institutional growth.
