CampusGroups is a private community platform, uniting student organizations, departments, teams and every group on campus.
Get in TouchAlumni Relations teams know that it is paramount to create a relationship with students before graduation. This makes it easier to foster, rather than reinvent, the relationship once students graduate.
Engaging with students while they are still on campus and transitioning to their new roles as alumni is critical. Here are five tried-and-true tips from our campus partners to increase alumni engagement.
Read MoreJohns Hopkins University (JHU) has been a CampusGroups (CG) partner since July 2020.
JHU needed an all-in-one and highly customizable community engagement platform. According to Calvin Smith, JHU’s Director of Student Leadership and Involvement, “CG provided JHU with the solutions it needed in one place”. These include:
Multi Community Hub Campus Portal- This feature has enabled the implementation of a comprehensive platform university wide. It has also enabled each of the nine campuses to have its own Community Hub.
Highly Customizable Platform- This has enabled each campus to create a custom landing page and menu. They can therefore establish their own unique brand and send targeted communications to students.
Multiple Engagement Tools- CG serves as a one-stop-shop for co-curricular life at JHU. Available on the web and mobile, the platform has over 30 modules. These include group and event management, attendance tracking and gamification.
Robust Tracking and Reporting Features- What makes the platform extremely powerful is that all data feeds into an analytics and reporting dashboard. According to Calvin, “from a visibility or statistical standpoint, this has been transformational.”
At CampusGroups (CG) our team is our biggest strength. We believe in the importance of bringing people together to activate our collective potential.
We trust in the strength that a diverse team brings. Our belief is that by embracing diversity, we can foster a better world for our team, partner campuses and students.

As we reflect upon the past year, we want to take a moment to acknowledge how proud and grateful we are to work with so many amazing institutions and innovative campus leaders. In another challenging and unpredictable year, our campus partners have been doing amazing things to build and engage their campus communities!
Read MoreLike bears, many of us are prone to hibernation when it gets too cold outside. It’s just easier to hide away, snug in your dorm room watching Netflix on your laptop or scrolling TikTok videos from underneath a warm blanket. But too much isolation, we have learned in these unprecedented times, is not good for anyone.
In fact, campus life administrators who create campus events to keep students connected, active and involved may sometimes find this frosty time of year the most challenging.
If you are looking to help the students in your campus community to destress and engage in some fun activities this winter, we’ve got you covered!

In 2021, campus leaders saw the continued need for virtual and hybrid event programming for students to connect actively in their campus communities. Unlike in 2020, though, many on-campus activities resumed for students to safely gather in-person. 🙏
Overall, we have been truly inspired by what our campus partners have been up to in 2021! We’re honored to help support them as they create so many unique opportunities for students, staff and faculty to be together, share ideas, and learn from each other throughout the year.
