How has Airtable helped you unlock wins for your work in the EDU world?
We’ve been able to make a real impact by helping EdTech companies streamline their operations and universities improve alumni engagement, track donations, and coordinate programs and fellowships—all while cutting down on manual tasks.

Airtable’s flexibility has been essential, not only for managing complex workflows but also for integrating with the diverse systems that Higher Ed institutions already use, like CRMs, Student Information Systems (SIS), and Learning Management Systems (LMS).

Looking forward to sharing insights and learning from everyone here! 🚀

Well now I live and breath Airtable. Internally, I use it for contact tracking, surveying customers, providing reports to our leadership, and for keeping myself accountable day-to-day on various tasks. It serves as our repository for information regarding new Airtable features (and collateral associated), support tickets, and even a directory of people that I can direct questions to.  

I'm here to help in any way that I can and always open to your feedback, questions, and/or concerns! I can't wait to build alongside you all! 🔨

When introduced to me as an "Excel on Steroids", I'm pretty sure I rolled my eyes immediately. Oh was I so wrong! 

What started with natural curiosity quickly evolved into a passion and excitement for poking around, incessant Googling, and watching others build great tables on YouTube for the sake of efficiency. Fast-forwarding to today, AirTable has enabled our small but nimble team to streamline processes, alleviate pain points like requests getting lost in inboxes, strategize effectively by looking ahead when planning communications, as well as serve as our own internal operations hub for getting things done right, fast, and even leap-frogging the boundaries of our own capacities being a small team that serves a large variety of stakeholders.

Happy to connect with anyone looking to get started building, share innovative use cases, bounce ideas, or just share what we've learned! 🤓

PS. S/O to anyone who went to DareTable 2024 🤖 (Hello again Matt! 👋)

We’ve been able to streamline our office's intake process through Airtable's form builder. It's great tracking requests and scheduling meetings. 

Our students have commented on the ease of using Airtable, accessing our resources and filtering them to their personalized needs. No more out of date static spreadsheets!

How has Airtable helped you unlock wins for your work in the EDU world? Airtable has been instrumental in launching Ascend WV, our talent attraction and retention program. As an early team member, I had the rewarding experience of bringing a vision for a remote worker program to life in my home state! From processing over 50,000 applications to powering our outdoor gear rental library, Airtable has enabled me—despite having no coding background—to build powerful applications that benefit our members, community, and team. Today, we're using Airtable to launch federally funded economic and community development programs, advancing our mission at West Virginia University to revitalize the Appalachian region and fulfill our land-grant commitment.

We started using it as database/development tracker for learning assets when creating online learning experiences. Now we use it for E V E R Y T H I N G. New use cases every week, from a ticketing support system for our tech team, to room bookings, to our entire team resourcing and project pipeline. My job centres around creating interfaces to make systems and processes easier, and I couldn't do it without Airtable 💕. I'm very happy to share use cases and pretty interfaces with others, too.

Hi everyone! Excited to learn from you all and hoping to capture your feedback in the weeks and months to come to make sure our user group program yields the maximum amount of helpfulness, impact, insights, and value it can.

Not from an educational institution like many of you, but hoping I can add to the conversation with my years experience in software customer education 🙂
