A.I. Foundations for Academic Advising eTutorial

For TRIO pre-college professionals, the question isn’t whether A.I. will affect our work, but how we can use it responsibly, ethically, and in ways that strengthen—rather than replace—the human connection our students depend on. The A.I. Foundations for Academic Advising eTutorial offers exactly that foundation. For TRIO programs serving first-generation and low-income students, it is especially important that new technologies are used thoughtfully, transparently, and with equity at the center. This course helps ensure AI becomes a supportive tool—not a barrier—in your work. The tutorial costs $450 for NACADA and COE members and $650 for non-members.

• Identify ways A.I. can reduce administrative burden while preserving trust and student relationships
