In the final part of this Pulse Check series, Carrie Phillips sits down with Jeff Ebbing for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about AI from a community college perspective. Jeff shares what it really looks like to think about AI when “doing more with less” is the daily reality, including what’s worth trying, what’s not, and how to bring skeptical colleagues along without overselling the technology. They talk about where community colleges are getting AI right and how to take smart, low-risk steps forward.

Guest Bio: Jeff Ebbing is currently Director of Marketing and Communications at the Southeastern Community College in Iowa, a position he’s held since 2005. In that time, he tripled the size of his department to three people, survived a handful of website relaunches, and has outlived the meteoric rise and spectacular flame out of more than his share of social media platforms.
