EPISODE 1:
Make the Class without the Guesswork: How to align IR & Enrollment to hit targets

9/24/25 @ 2pm ET // 11am PT

A new year, a new class, but your admissions team is right back at it to gear up for their next enrollment cycle. With increased competition for students and less institutional resources, the right data can mean the difference between achieving your enrollment targets…and falling short. 

IR often holds the key to help teams operate with a more complete picture to target the right students and drive admissions yield. Join this discussion to see how IR can serve as a strategic partner to enhance enrollment and admissions data to:

  • Understand your current student body to effectively target students in-line with your strategic goals

  • Establish real-time enrollment monitoring, planning, and forecasting, including admitted student count and multi-year modeling

  • Uncover financial aid sensitivities to improve yield

EPISODE 2:
AI & Data Analytics: The latest insights from campus leaders 

10/22/25 @ 2pm ET // 11am PT

As the AI hype swirls, campus leaders are under continued pressure to “figure out” institution use cases. “Figuring it out” is easier said than done, and there are many considerations.. How does this show up in institutional approaches to data analytics and IR? 

This dialogue will center around new research about the perceptions and beliefs from campus leaders on:

  • The biggest opportunities for AI and decision support on campus

  • Threats and risks AI presents to institution data and processes

  • Considerations to resource and experiment appropriately with AI

EPISODE 3:
Data-Informed Retention: How to support students to the finish line

11/19/25 @ 2pm ET // 11am PT

Graduation and retention rates are core KPIs of any institution and under increasing scrutiny from federal and state legislatures. But trying to lift graduation rates with broad strokes is an ineffective use of time and resources.

Your front-line student success staff and advisors will benefit from critical data that allow them to pinpoint at-risk students and intervene in a timely manner. Join this discussion to see how IR analyses can be put in practice to:

  • Identify risk flags and tailor retention strategies to students’ needs for greater impact

  • Understand at-risk student populations to guide and inform systematic policy changes

  • Identify targeted populations for advisor outreach or tutoring opportunities 

EPISODE 4:
From DFW to Degree: IR insights Provosts can
act on 

1/21/26 @ 2pm ET // 11am PT

Ensuring student success is core to any institution’s mission. How you establish a methodical approach to identify obstacles to student success and retention is imperative to improve student outcomes–and revenue–for your institution. 

This session will explore essential course and program insights academic leadership shouldn’t go without, so they can identify:

  • Deploy targeted intervention opportunities at-scale

  • Go beyond DFW rates to track and measure success rates and expand what’s working

  • Modifications to teaching methods, course order, curriculum, or program requirements
