This structured conversation provides an overview and introduction to generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) for student affairs assessment professionals. Assessing the impact of programs and services on student learning, development, and success is a critical function in higher education. Despite its importance, it’s often difficult for student affairs professionals to develop the skills to implement assessment and integrate assessment into daily practice. Generative AI holds great promise to more easily, efficiently, and effectively implement assessment as well as build assessment capacity. In this session, participants will see demonstrations of AI in assessment and engage in conversation with colleagues on possible uses.
