Steve marshall

Director of Student Services - Keiser University's Fort Myers campus

Portrait of a man with short light brown hair and a beard wearing a white shirt and a red, blue, and white plaid tie, against a gray background.
Steve Marshall is the Director of Student Services at Keiser University's Fort Myers campus, where a department of three runs career advising, employer relations, graduate placement, student events, and graduation. He also builds the AI tools that his staff uses for student-facing work and monthly reporting, and a bilingual commencement assistant that the university is adopting institution-wide.

He holds an MBA from Babson College, a Master of Global Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University, and runs ResilienceIQ, an automation consultancy building systems that compound.

His position on AI is that it is a force multiplier, not a replacer: hand it the work that does not need a person, so the people can do what they do best — which in his department, means serving students.
