Higher education institutions are being asked to do more with less. Enrollment pressures are growing. Compliance requirements keep expanding. Staff are stretched thin, and legacy Student Information Systems, built for a different era, are adding friction instead of removing it. 

Join Joe Fisher (SVP, Chief of Staff) and Jen Taylor (Director, Solutions Consulting) at Student First as they share how a cloud-native, AI-native SIS is helping institutions unify data, automate manual work, and give staff time back, without losing the human judgment that matters most in financial aid, compliance, and student support. 

This session explores what "AI-first, human verified" means in practice, real examples of automation reducing administrative burden, and how institutions can start rethinking operations instead of simply replacing software.
