Â鶹´«Ã½ University has introduced a new tool to help students get more involved: the Suitable App.
The app is designed to make it easier for students to stay up to date
with campus events, including Student Government Association meetings,
Student Activities Board events and programs hosted by campus
organizations.
The app is a big step forward in improving student
engagement, said Dean of Students Dr. Arthur Doctor, who helped bring
the app to Â鶹´«Ã½.
Doctor believes it will make a huge difference.
“With appropriate buy-in from our students and organizations, I think
it can be a game changer for student engagement on campus,” he said.
The Suitable App does more than show upcoming events.
“It
is a one-stop shop for all events and programs that are happening,"
Doctor said. "It also allows students to learn about all the different
organizations on campus to help them get better involved.”
One of the biggest improvements is how easy the app is to use compared to PantherX, the university’s older platform.
“It is more accessible to students via their phone, so student
organization leaders can access it, and they can submit requests easier
rather than going on their computer,” Doctor said.
“It also allows me to approve it in real time and brings all of our processes to one place.”
The
app’s mobile-friendly design makes it easier for students to not only
find events but also track their involvement, helping them stay active
and engaged in campus life.
Whether they are looking for a new
club to join, checking on SGA activities or exploring leadership
opportunities, students now have everything they need in one app.
