Most college conduct professionals are caught off guard by AI's rapid rise—until now. Dive into a conversation with Colette and Kurt as they explore how generative AI like ChatGPT is revolutionizing student engagement, conduct practices, and professional development. Discover how AI can foster honesty, deepen reflection, and transform traditional approaches—without sacrificing trust or ethical standards.

In this episode, Colette shares her innovative approach: creating AI-driven reflection dialogues that guide students in honest conversations about alcohol use, wellness, and academic integrity. You'll learn how AI can serve as a thought partner, helping educators uncover blind spots, challenge assumptions, and personalize student interactions. We discuss practical tactics for incorporating AI into campus practice, avoiding pitfalls like hallucinations or loss of context, and leveraging it for both academic and behavioral support.

Student conduct practitioners can inspire a culture of curiosity and empathy. We discuss recent wins—like using Yik Yak to improve an orientation program! Whether you're a skeptic or an early adopter, this episode reveals why ignoring AI is the biggest risk for higher ed professionals today.

This conversation is perfect for anyone working in student affairs, conduct, or campus leadership eager to harness AI’s enormous potential. Get ready to rethink what’s possible—because the future of student engagement is here, and it’s smarter than ever.

While getting back into our routines after the conference for the Association of Student Conduct Administrators (and enjoying a snow day!) we wanted to provide a quick bonus episode about a unique way to address the ubiquitous noisy neighbor issue. We'd love to hear what approaches you've used with residence hall community members who are just plain fed up.

Kurt invites his first conduct supervisor, Cyndi Freeman, to reflect on her journey and philosophy in student conduct and engagement. They discuss memorable discipline cases, the importance of educational outcomes, and the role of mentorship in shaping future conduct officers. They note the significance and long-lasting impact of safe spaces for dialogue for all. Cyndi talks about the relevance of popular culture in education and the imperative of modeling a civil community for students. **NOTE** Don't forget, Colette and Kurt will be at ASCA next week giving out Ms. Behavior swag.
