Your Events, Their App: How University of Portland Transforms Campus Events with Engage
Rethinking the Workplace for Law Firms in the Era of Digital Transformation
Let’s be honest… Students don’t want another app to manage, another website to dig through, or another event they didn’t even know was happening. They want everything—clubs, events, and involvement—right at their fingertips.
Join us for a live webinar where the University of Portland shares how they’re bringing campus life together with the Modo + Anthology Engage.
Discover how to make engagement easy—for students and staff:
- Events in Students’ Hands: Make it easy for students to find, discover, and show up to events—all from the app they already use.
- Flexible Access for Everyone: Support guest users and public events, offering visibility and discovery for prospective students, families, and visitors alike.
- Bring Events to Life: Support attendance with visuals that pop—use posters, images, and interactive features to make events stand out and drive clicks.
- Low-Effort Insights: Reduce manual work for Student Affairs and IT teams with low-maintenance tracking and built-in data analytics. Measure engagement trends, event turnout, and org activity in real time.
- Catch Disengagement Early: Use engagement data to identify students who aren’t attending events or connecting on campus—and re-engage them before they disappear.
Learn how UP increased visibility and attendance through creative event campaigns like Dive In, drove clicks on events with posters and visuals, streamlined student check-ins through their mobile app, and found new ways to use engagement data to identify and support disconnected students.
