• 🤖 RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

  

  Can AI outreach improve student success?

  What researchers found

  ✅ Students receiving AI-enabled outreach had stronger course outcomes
  
  ✅ Students were more likely to engage with academic supports such as tutoring
  
  ✅ Effects were generally similar across student groups
  
  ✅ In one microeconomics course, women receiving the intervention earned final grades about 7% higher than women in the control group

  Why it matters

  💡 Technology may be most valuable when it helps students connect with people, resources, and support rather than simply providing answers.
