Case Study: University of Mary Washington boosts student engagement with Modern Campus Involve

UMW Engaged 66% of Students Within the First 6 Weeks of the Semester

The University of Mary Washington, a public university with 4,400+ undergraduates, needed a better way to prove the value of co-curricular engagement and support a small Student Activities team overwhelmed by manual processes. With limited staff and pressure to justify funding, the team struggled to access useful data and to help students showcase meaningful skills to employers. Modern Campus, using its Involve student engagement platform, addressed these challenges.

With Modern Campus Involve, UMW gained robust, accessible data and analytics, easier program management, digital forms, event check-in, and co-curricular transcript functionality. The solution helped staff make informed decisions, run student organization elections faster, and support other campus offices. Most notably, University of Mary Washington engaged 66% of students within the first six weeks of the semester, showing a clear impact on student participation.
