What I’m looking forward to sharing with you.

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to invite you to a session that’s close to my heart, and at the core of why I’ve spent my career in edtech.

I’ve always believed in scaling technologies that help people advocate for themselves. And it’s not just any tech - it’s edtech. That’s why Instructure’s motto, “doing well while doing good,” resonates so deeply with me. How lucky are we to be part of this mission? In this session, I’ll show you what that looks like in practice, through two powerful examples from Elon University and Florida Gulf Coast University.

We’ll explore how these institutions are making real, measurable progress by embedding advocacy, equity, and access into their student success strategies, and how technology helps bring those strategies to life. If you care about the human side of data, student agency, and meaningful connection across campus, this is your session.

Who I’m most excited to see in the audience.

The more the merrier—but these people should definitely beam into this session.

• Advisors and student support leaders working to connect data with action
• Institutional researchers and IT partners focused on operationalizing equity
• Academic leadership ready to scale meaningful impact with smart tools

Clues & Artifacts for you. (So Far…)

No need to wander the woods alone.

See You at InstCon25!

Whether you’re chasing that UFO or just chasing the next big idea to support your students, I hope this session reminds you what’s possible when we connect technology to purpose.
