Furman University's Pathways Program® is a mandatory two-year advising curriculum facilitated by faculty, staff, and undergraduate Peer Mentors with diverse expertise and experience levels. This session shares the development and Spring 2026 pilot of a purpose-built AI facilitation assistant designed to support advisors navigating a common curriculum across four semesters. By centering pedagogical flexibility within structured learning objectives, the assistant empowers educators to adapt activities to their cohort's unique needs while preserving non-negotiable program requirements — enabling instructors to honor both program integrity and the distinct personalities of their student groups. Attendees will hear honest pilot findings and are invited to consider how a similar model might support common course delivery at their own institutions. #autonomy #adaptation #integrity
