Case Study: Penn State Behrend College doubles event attendance and centralizes student involvement with OrgSync

Full Campus Implementation at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (4,500 full-time students and 130 student organizations) adopted OrgSync after student surveys revealed demand for easier ways to get involved. The campus faced low co-curricular engagement, fragmented communication, and reliance on outdated paper records for tracking student participation.

Implementing OrgSync campus-wide centralized club and event management, mobile messaging, ePortfolios, and online forms—requiring all organizations to register and enabling multiple departments to move processes online. The platform grew to over 2,700 users by August 2011, doubled campus-wide event attendance, streamlined administration, and established searchable, long-term records of student involvement.
