Next 2025 - Scaling Student Success: Tools, Partnerships, and Impact

Описание: Scaling student success takes more than data - it requires tools that can reach across campuses, solutions that deliver measurable impact, and the partnerships that turn innovation into action. This session brings together leaders from Maryland Higher Education Commission, Google.org, Wor-Wic Community College, and DataKind to explore how collaboration across technology, policy, practice, and philanthropy is transforming higher education outcomes.

Join these sector leaders as they share insights from developing and deploying AI-supported tools like DataKind Edvise, which helps colleges identify students in need of timely support. From campus pilots to statewide initiatives, they’ll illustrate how aligned strategies and shared investment can strengthen student outcomes, inform policy, and scale impact.

Attendees will walk away with actionable insights and strategies for leveraging data, technology, and partnerships to advance student success - and maximize the return on higher education investments.

Sanjay Rai, PhD, Secretary, Maryland Higher Education Commission
Jen Carter, Global Head of Technology, Google.org
Deborah Casey, PhD, President, Wor-Wic Community College
Greg Wolniak, PhD, Head of Education Initiatives, DataKind
