Replacing Anthology Engage: 100 Institutions and Counting

We’re celebrating an exciting milestone: 100 institutions have made the switch from Anthology Engage to CampusGroups.
Most recently, Spelman College—ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the nation’s No. 1 HBCU for the 19th consecutive year—became the 100th school to join the CampusGroups community. Their decision reflects a growing trend across higher education; when it comes to student engagement, institutions are choosing CampusGroups because it delivers measurable ROI, drives student success and retention, and builds a stronger sense of belonging across campus.
Why Institutions Are Making the Move
For many schools, the decision comes down to one thing: CampusGroups was built for student engagement.
Unlike platforms that stop at student organization management, CampusGroups powers the full spectrum of campus life, offering:
True mobile-first experience → A fully branded, customizable app.
Smarter engagement tools → Gamification, event management, ticketing, and payments.
Targeted communications → Messaging that cuts through the noise.
Comprehensive analytics → Insights to track participation, spot trends, and improve outcomes.
A partner you can count on → A dedicated Client Success team invested in your goals.
Switching isn’t just about technology, it’s also about impact. With CampusGroups, schools consolidate resources, reduce costs, and drive greater adoption.

Creating Success at Institutions
We proudly partner with over 75% of the top 25 universities nationwide!
As Jeremy Mastin, Student Engagement & Experience Coordinator at St. Lawrence College, puts it:
“The platform has helped us consolidate resources. Instead of 17 different apps, students have one place to connect with each other, find out what’s happening on campus, and get involved.”
Institutions that once struggled with fragmented systems and disengaged students are now seeing clear results: improved engagement, stronger connections, and higher student retention.
Sara E. Thommesen, Senior Coordinator of Engagement at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, sums it up:
“We are looking to move everything to CG, including calendaring, room reservations, payments, and budgeting. Having a central place for students and administrators to communicate and connect is great.”
Other institutions that recently moved from Engage to CampusGroups include Knox College, University of Houston- Clear Lake, University of South Dakota, and Smith College.
And because we never stop innovating, our product roadmap is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of today’s students. The latest example is Campus Table, our new feature that helps institutions address food insecurity on campus.
Since 2005, CampusGroups has been unifying the student experience and helping schools strengthen involvement, retention and student success. With 100 former Anthology Engage institutions now thriving on CampusGroups, the momentum is clear: institutions want a platform that delivers both immediate and long-term ROI.
