    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. As campuses move toward AI-driven operations, the institutions that succeed will be those that unify data, eliminate silos, and create real-time context that AI agents can understand and act on. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Host:Dr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.
