AI Deep Dive: AI in Student Support and Advising
Thursday, June 25, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)
Join Us Virtually
The AFIT AI Deep-Dive Workshop Series is the applied, tactical complement to the monthly AI Community of Practice. Where the CoP focuses on strategic conversation — how AI reshapes institutional thinking, governance, and culture — the Deep Dive sessions focus on implementation: specific tools, practical workflows, and campus-ready techniques that participants can put to work. Each month's session description includes a Tools section listing any software or platforms that will be used during the session. Participants who want a hands-on experience can install or access these tools in advance and follow along in real time. However, hands-on participation is entirely optional — every session is designed so that those who prefer to watch, listen, and ask questions will get full value from the discussion and live demonstrations.

This session examines how AI can augment (not replace) advising and student support through triage, self-service, and better routing. Participants will review use cases for chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI triage; discuss risk, equity, and escalation strategies; and outline realistic next steps for student support pilots on their campuses.
This session is demo-driven — no software installation required. The facilitator will demonstrate a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system built inside JupyterLab that answers student questions grounded in institutional documents such as handbooks, advising FAQs, and course catalogs. Participants will also see a brief comparison with browser-based tools like Google NotebookLM. Bring questions about your campus advising workflows and, if available, examples of documents your students most frequently ask about.
