They talk about building a student success model centered on the full student lifecycle—from inquiry through graduation and career placement. By mapping the student journey, the institution identified gaps and redesigned processes to create a more seamless, supportive experience grounded in relationships, not just systems. The conversation emphasizes the importance of culture, change management, and cross-campus ownership in making student success initiatives stick. While technology played a supporting role in improving efficiency and visibility, the real impact came from aligning people, processes, and purpose around helping every student succeed. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-higher-ed-geek-podcast-1126176/episodes/live-from-disrupted-with-denise-aberle-cannata/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-higher-ed-geek-podcast-1126176/live-from-disrupted-with-denise-aberle-cannata.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
