CASE STUDY: Community Portal Strengthens Campus Connections at JHU

CASE STUDY: Community Portal Strengthens Campus Connections at JHU

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, JHUโ€™s Director of Student Leadership and Involvement, โ€œCG provided JHU with the solutions it needed in one placeโ€. These include:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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, โ€œfrom a visibility or statistical standpoint, this has been transformational.โ€

Fun Winter Event Ideas for College Students (When It's Freezing Outside!)

Like bears, many of us are prone to hibernation when it gets too cold outside. Itโ€™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, weโ€™ve got you covered!

In Her Words: College Success Tips for Female Students with ADHD

As a high school student, Taryn aced her Honors and AP courses. She was active in orchestra, field hockey, her church youth group and after-school job. She graduated cum laude and even earned an academic scholarship. No question - she was ready for college!

Or so she thought.

The college learning experience, she quickly learned, was completely different than high school. Managing classes, a social life and extra-curricular activities used to be easier with built-in support and structure from parents, teachers and a structured school schedule.

In this new learning environment, however, her academic success began to unravel.

Getting Involved on Campus: What Student Organizations Should You Join?

When Isabella arrived on campus, she was excited to meet new people and discover more about herself and her new home. She knew that academics would take up a lot of her time but she didnโ€™t want to miss out on campus life outside of the classroom.

Sheโ€™d seen the movies. Wild parties and red Solo cups. That wasnโ€™t the overall college experience she was after, though. Her eyes were on the prize: getting into a top graduate school. Even with her scholarship, Isabella understood the price tag of her education, and she had no intention of wasting the experience.

To get started on the right foot, Isabella decided to meet with her campus director of student life & activities. There, she received advice that could and would change her entire trajectory, helping to shape her campus experience and illuminate a pathway to reach her goals.
