ASNF 6 days ago

By: Paul Napleton, Head of Digital & Marketing Automation at the University of East Anglia

Have you ever wondered what student life would be like in a sci-fi movie? Would you assume that data, technology, and AI would be cornerstones of student interactions? Guess what: They already are!

But you know what that says to me? It says buy. I love it when a growth stock hits obstacles, … Read more
