Case Study: Oklahoma State University achieves streamlined volunteer scheduling with VolunteerLocal

Oklahoma State University - Customer Case Study

Oklahoma State University runs OSU Up Close, a campus visit program that lets prospective students sample campus life, meet faculty and ride shuttle buses from area communities. To staff roles like bus greeters, wayfinders and college session assistants, OSU needed an easy way to recruit, schedule and manage student, faculty and alumni volunteers without creating heavy administrative overhead.

OSU adopted VolunteerLocal’s volunteer scheduling platform to streamline sign-ups and communications. The tool simplified management for staff and volunteers, earned strong positive feedback—even from less tech‑savvy users—and “greatly reduced the amount of time” needed to manage registrants, helping OSU present a smoother, better-supported visit experience.
