CASE STUDY: Community Portal Strengthens Campus Connections at JHU

February 08, 2022/ Lucie-Kay Desthuis-Francis

Johns 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.”

November 16, 2021/ Lucie-Kay Desthuis-Francis

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has been a CampusGroups (CG) partner since June 2020. It implemented the campus engagement software during the global Covid-19 pandemic when Saudi Arabia was in full lockdown.

KAUST was founded in 2009. It is located on the Red Sea in the small fishing village of Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. The unique Saudi campus is home to the kingdom’s first mixed-gender university campus, and hosts approximately 1,000 students and over 90 nationalities.

Prior to implementing CampusGroups, KAUST had a legacy student life community platform that had been abandoned by administrators and staff.

KAUST wanted a one-stop-shop for student life. They wanted a customizable and engaging system, available on the web and mobile. CG provided KAUST with the solutions to its challenges in one place.
