Drive Student Engagement with DormHearth's Event & Community Management

The Engagement Challenge in
Campus Housing

DormHearth brings event creation, promotion, and tracking into the same platform that manages housing operations. Staff and RAs can launch events in minutes, students receive targeted invitations, and administrators can measure engagement in real time. With DormHearth, student engagement becomes visible, trackable, and reportable.

What DormHearth's Event Tools Deliver

• Centralized Event Creation

  Staff and RAs can create events in minutes, with details like description, date, time, location, RSVP capacity, and tags for event type (social, academic, wellness, safety).

• Event Promotion

  Events are promoted through in-app notifications, email, and text messages. Students see upcoming events in their housing portal and mobile app.

• Targeted Invitations & Segmentation

  Promote events to the right audience — entire dorms, specific buildings, first-year students, or custom groups. No more blanket blasts that get ignored.

• Digital RSVP & Attendance Tracking

  Students RSVP through their housing portal or mobile app. Attendance is recorded digitally — eliminating paper sign-in sheets and manual tallying.

• Automated Reminders & Notifications

  Email, text, and in-app reminders reduce no-shows and keep students engaged. Notifications can be customized by urgency (e.g., hall meeting tonight).

• Calendar Integration

  Events sync directly into student and staff calendars (Google, Outlook, iCal), increasing participation.

• Engagement Analytics Dashboard

  Administrators can track event participation over time — by dorm, student cohort, or event type — giving measurable data on student engagement.

• Feedback Collection

  Students can rate events or provide feedback digitally, giving housing staff insights into what drives the strongest engagement.
