June 22-24: Student organization management and student engagement software vendor demo sessions

Posted on by Division of Information

An initiative is underway to select a student organization management and student engagement software to improve the management of student organizations. The new system will be used to foster collaboration and enhance student success.

June 22-24 Student Management Software Demonstrations

Interviews were conducted in Spring 2021 to gather feedback on the use of the current OrgCentral system and finalize the criteria when selecting a new solution. After careful consideration, the review team has identified three vendors who meet the needs of K-State. Vendor demonstrations are scheduled for June 22-24.

For the demonstrations, the vendors will use real-life K-State scenarios to include:

  • Creating events
  • Managing student organizations
  • Tracking student engagement and communications

During the presentations, each vendor will demonstrate the functionality of a live system from a student and staff perspective.

For dates and zoom links to the vendor demos, view the software vendor demo page. You will need to sign in with your eID and password to view the information.
