Don't Underestimate Your Influence: What Forward-Leaning UR Teams Are Doing Differently.

Application volume has tripled. Cheating attempts on entry-level assessments have quadrupled in 18 months. AI is reshaping how applications are written and read. And UR teams are rethinking proxies like school name and GPA as the data evolves.
This keynote walks through what's shifting and what the most forward-leaning UR teams are doing differently. We'll cover assessment design for an AI-native workforce, building integrity into the process from the start, and using skills data to reset conversations with hiring managers and university partners.
Attendees will leave with five concrete actions for the next UR cycle, and a clearer sense of the influence their seat actually carries.
