    Making Campus Data Work for AI

    In this bonus episode, we revisit JC's conversation with Kelly Sinacola this week at the AI Engage Summit, where they break down the architecture behind an agentic campus—and what it truly means to be “AI-ready.” Agentic AI can only perform as well as the data ecosystem that powers it.
