They need digital experiences that are easy to use, worth returning to, and built to help them take action. Join us for a webinar featuring three **Appademy Award-winning** institutions: **University of North Dakota, Roosevelt University,** and **UNC-Chapel Hill.** They'll share how they reimagined their digital experiences to drive engagement, collaborate across campus, and deliver more with limited resources. Discover how these institutions: - **Turn engagement into action:** See how *University of North Dakota* used gamified “App Quests” to drive repeat engagement, while *UNC-Chapel Hill* transformed their app into a mobile-first experience with millions of views. - **Reimagine experiences students actually use:** Learn how *Roosevelt University* replaced static, outdated admitted student page with a personalized experience that guides students and improves engagement. - **Make collaboration work across campus:** Hear how all three gathered input and align priorities across IT, Student Affairs, Admissions, Communications, and Marketing. - **Do more with the resources you have:** Get practical strategies for working within budget constraints: *UND’s* reusable campaign model, *UNC-Chapel Hill’s* cross-department funding, and *Roosevelt’s* fast, one-month launch using existing content and out-of-the-box tools. - **Prioritize what drives results:** Discover each institution's high-impact priorities to transform engagement, personalization, and daily utility. Learn what to build and how to measure success immediately.   ## Your Panelists ![Elizabeth Poindexter - UNC-Chapel Hill](https://go.modolabs.com/hubfs/Elizabeth%20Poindexter%20-%20UNC-Chapel%20Hill.png "Elizabeth Poindexter - UNC-Chapel Hill") **Elizabeth Poindexter Executive Director of Communications and Special Projects University North Carolina, Chapel Hill** Elizabeth Poindexter leads strategic communications efforts for 16 departments that comprise the Division of Student Success.
