Title: Maximize Operations: Data-Driven Strategies to Optimize Student Appointments & Advisor Availability
Lead Presenter: Michelle Southward
Date: October 28, 2025    Time: 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Room: Virtual 2
Abstract: In an era where student needs are evolving and institutional resources are often stretched thin, optimizing advising operations has become more critical than ever. This session will delve into data-driven strategies that have significantly reduced no-show appointments, enhanced advisor availability, and met peak advising demands more effectively. By leveraging process improvement techniques and targeted data collection, we have 'moved the needle' in our advising operations, ensuring a more efficient and student-centered approach. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights and recommendations as to how to implement similar strategies within their own departments, ultimately improving both student satisfaction and advisor workload management.
