About Portland Community College

Founded in 1961, Portland Community College (PCC) is the largest postsecondary institution in Oregon, serving more than 50,000 students each year across its campuses, centers, and online. PCC is known for its commitment to access, equity, and student success, offering pathways that support academic achievement, career readiness, and community engagement

Challenges

Faced with three key hurdles to enriching the student experience, Portland Community College turned to the CampusGroups platform to tackle the challenges head-on.

Community Engagement

PCC sought a way to boost students’ engagement with the campus community by making clubs and events more accessible.

Access to Resources

With such a diverse student body, ensuring easy access to resources for students both on and off campus was a top priority.

Administrative Efficiency

Disjointed systems had led to inefficient event management and unnecessary complexity, leaving the team in need of a unified solution.

Strengthening Campus Connectivity and Driving Engagement

Seeking to enhance the student experience, PCC focused on creating a closer, more connected campus community, taking engagement beyond the classroom. Hear from Dana Bonifacio-Sample, Director of Student Engagement, on how CampusGroups helped bring their vision to life.

Solutions

Since the implementation of CampusGroups, branded as PantherHub, the institution has been able to bring the campus community closer together, providing students with a more enriching experience.

Community Engagement

By streamlining details about events and clubs, CampusGroups has made co-curricular life more accessible, resulting in greater engagement.

Access to Resources

With key information and resources now united in one place, CampusGroups provides a seamless, inclusive experience for all.

Administrative Efficiency

CampusGroups centralizes operations for the team, reducing their workload so they can focus on delivering an exceptional experience.
