Hey Whitney,

We are not using Suitable (just heard of it now), but I like what they have on their website.

Our aim is to integrate similar gamification elements and guided pathways within our CampusGroups app. This would include point tracking, leaderboards, and automated badge allocation based on attendance tracking or user interactions within the platform. Yesterday, we attended our second webinar hosted by CG, where they discussed successful implementations on other campuses.

Our plan involves a soft/secret pilot program launch next semester, discreetly tracking student engagement through these features to establish attendance metrics and point accumulation baselines. The intention is to formally unveil this initiative in the upcoming Fall term. If helpful, we’re more than willing to share our thoughts and concepts regarding this endeavor.

Subject: Use of Suitable App

Good afternoon,

Our college’s Center for Career Development has invited us to look at the Suitable App as a method to engage students. Are there other Engagement/First Year/Campus Recreation departments utilizing this app? I would love to hear what has gone well in working with the app. How has it increased attendance or engagement with your office? And have there been hiccups you’ve had with the system and what you wish it could do for you. This information would be helpful as we explore this app. Thank you for your insight.?

Thank you,

Whitney S. Smith
