Case Study: UConn and URI boost student engagement and belonging with Modo Connect from Modo Labs

UConn and URI drive 15K+ active users and 7K daily views with Modo Labs

The University of Connecticut (UConn) and the University of Rhode Island (URI) faced a common challenge where their students were struggling to connect and build community. To address this, both institutions turned to the vendor Modo Labs and implemented its product, Modo Connect.

Modo Labs provided a solution by embedding Modo Connect, a platform for safe and moderated peer-to-peer communities, directly into the schools' existing apps. This created trusted, school-supported digital spaces for students. The results were significant, with URI seeing over 15,000 active users and UConn achieving 7,000 daily views, demonstrating a substantial increase in student engagement and belonging.
