Advisory Council

Executive Summary

Webstr.io is a leading technology enhancement platform for college recruitment. It maximizes recruitment results through efficient, intelligent technologies delivered to students on an AI platform. There are many needs for higher education, and Webstr.io has chosen to begin with the admission process and move in other directions from there. The higher education institution and students must communicate differently to ensure their journey will continue successfully. 

The Advisory Council's composition

Webstr.io recognizes that their services are essential but very focused. As they grow, they will provide many other benefits. They also understand that the problems affecting Higher Education are multidimensional and require the examination of respected thought leaders, innovators, technologist diversity specialists, and students to serve their clients and the industry better. The Advisory Council's composition reflects its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, encompassing high school, college, and business leaders. The Advisory Council includes individuals directly involved in these areas and those with unique perspectives and expertise. By bringing together multidimensional thought leaders worldwide, the Advisory Council aims to foster a global dialogue and exchange of ideas.

The Mission

The mission of the Advisory Council is to provide broad-based Advice to Institutions of Higher Education on technological advances in AI and the most user-friendly way to incorporate them into our institutions. In theory, we could solve problems that began before these students were born and have followed them throughout their lifetime. A more practical solution is to look at the period from high school, college, and the beginning of their career. We will review a ten to twelve-year period of time. In theory, mitigating these problems during the high school years would allow higher education to focus on goals that prepare them for their future. This solution will better serve the students and their future employment opportunities.

The Advisory Council recognizes that we must provide the understanding that goes far beyond admissions to better service to provide assistance in a student's past journey and strengthen their future journey beyond graduation and throughout their career. We could suggest covering their lifetime, but the Universe between high school and their first career position should keep the council busy. The Advisory Council will comprise thought leaders in the high school, college, and career areas. It will include leaders with direct contact in these areas and leaders who generally would not be contacted. The group will be global, comprised of diverse multidimensional thought leaders worldwide.

Advisory Council Output

Operating on a virtual platform, the Advisory Council members will receive prompts from the operating team on various topics relevant to higher education. These prompts will catalyze discussions and insights from the council members. The responses and contributions of the Advisory Council will be distilled into informative articles that highlight their collective expertise.

By leveraging the collective wisdom of the Advisory Council, Webstr.io aims to drive positive change and advancements in higher education, high school, and business. The council's guidance will address the admission process and extend to other aspects of students' educational journeys, ultimately preparing them for career success beyond graduation.

Sample Outputs - Case Studies

One example is a case study provided by Joel Evans, Founder and former owner and Editor of Geek.Com, an online resource for technology enthusiasts. We are currently using an article by Joel as a placeholder for a prompt to be sent to Advisory Council Members. Such case studies will enable the council to analyze real-world scenarios, share best practices, and provide practical guidance to institutions facing similar challenges. These advisory articles will serve as valuable resources for the senior teams of more than 400 institutions, providing valuable insights and recommendations. Additionally, these articles will be distributed through various channels to reach a wider audience, ensuring that the knowledge and expertise shared by the Advisory Council have a global impact.
