Case Study: Ave Maria University boosts student engagement with MobileUp

Ave Maria University - Customer Case Study

Ave Maria University, a campus near Naples, Florida, wanted a better way to centralize student information, promote events, and boost engagement among students who were already highly connected to their phones. Working with MobileUp Software, the university adopted a mobile app called The Pound to help share dining details, career services, tutoring help, calendars, and club information in one convenient place.

MobileUp Software implemented iOS and Android app features including geofences, beacons, clubs and organizations, notifications, calendars, and gamification tools. The app helped drive event attendance, support club communication, and create incentives such as excused absences, free pizza, and prize drawings; the university said word of mouth helped adoption spread and that the app had been “tremendously successful” as a central communication tool.
