The Future Financial Workplace: Lessons for Investing in Your Workplace
A Unified Campus Portal with Modo
A modern campus portal is more than convenience—it’s a foundation for engagement and success. At VCU, outdated platforms and scattered systems were replaced with MyVCU, a unified hub built with Modo.
Inside the case study, you’ll discover how VCU:
- Doubled portal engagement as students adopted MyVCU as their primary gateway for academics, services, and campus life.
- Centralized access to 28,000 students and faculty, bringing Google Workspace, Banner SIS, payroll, and timecards into one hub.
- Reduced support requests by consolidating siloed platforms and eliminating the “one door too many” problem.
- Boosted student participation through a custom events module that increased submissions and engagement across campus.
- Improved navigation with personalized dashboards and custom quick links, cutting wasted time on multiple logins.
"Every university is grappling with the digital sprawl… our job is cutting through the noise to clarify to the students what they actually need to be doing."
- Jim Yucha
