Project Coordinator, AI Supported Student Advising

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Student Affairs is a collection of integrated units that collaborates with faculty, staff and students to enhance the student experience. We promote an inclusive, holistic and student-centric approach to learning and academic success and act as a professional resource in the delivery of evidence-based student enrolment, wellness, development and academic support programs and services. Reporting to the Manager, Student Success Advising, the Project Coordinator will lead the AI advising initiative, collaborating with advisors, students, and Dalhousie’s AI and ITS teams to identify opportunities for AI-supported advising, test tools and prototypes, and develop a roadmap for future implementation.

• Lead, plan and design a one-year pilot project exploring how generative AI can enhance student advising. Monitor project milestones and timelines, adjusting plans as needed to ensure timely delivery of outcomes.
• Conduct environmental scans and benchmarking of AI tools used in higher education advising. Identify high-volume, low-complexity advising tasks suitable for AI support.
• Develop a roadmap for implementation, including training plans and system requirements.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key partners, including advisors, faculty, students, and administrative leaders. Engage with advisors across multiple units to map advising processes and identify opportunities for AI support.
• Lead the development of shared tools, templates, and communication materials to promote adoption across units.
