Chronicle of Higher Education highlight's Elon's use of innovative technologies

A recent report by The Chronicle of Higher Education focused on how colleges and universities are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into enrollment, advising and campus facilities included highlights of Elon efforts. 

The April 8 article by reporter Lee Gardner titled “How A.I. is Infiltrating Every Corner of the Campus” explains about the work Elon has done to help students track their courses and plot a path to graduation that allows them the ability to also integrate study abroad, internships, research and other activities into that plan. 

Registrar Rodney Parks explained how Elon has begun using a new adaptive planning-and-advising software created by Stellic that draws from databases of requirements, course schedules and student data to help schedule courses and adapt their plans. Stellic supplements the guidance students receive from their advisers.
