Summary

Today, listeners get an inside look at how one institution is moving from AI experimentation to structured implementation. Mallory sits down with Joe Manok, Vice President of Advancement at Clark University and founder of GlobalPhilanthropy.ai, to unpack how his team is building seven purpose-built AI agents with governance, budgets, and human oversight built in from day one. Rather than chasing hype around AI in higher education, Joe outlines a disciplined, ethical, and ROI-focused approach to deploying AI agents in advancement. This episode is a must-listen for enrollment marketers, advancement leaders, and higher ed innovators looking for a practical roadmap to scale impact without sacrificing trust.
