The Bridge offers a toolkit for groups to manage activities within a private campus network, where students can connect, share, and get involved. The system provides dedicated access and tools for users and group officers.

Anyone in the Loyola community is considered a user. Any user can explore groups and activities, and get involved by joining groups, registering to events, answering forms and surveys, and becoming leaders of groups. Any user can stay up-to-date on all that’s happening on the Evergreen campus with news, groups pages, events calendars, and notifications.

Each group designates officers who can access a dedicated area to manage their group. Groups may include student clubs and organizations, or campus departments and programs. Officers may be students, staff, faculty, or administrators. Officers have a number of tools available to manage their group more efficiently including:

• Dashboard: Track recent activity and quickly access commonly used features (e.g., create event, compose email). Manage your group settings, list of officers, and access rights.

• Members: Add and manage group members or validate people who requested to join the group.

• Emails: Compose new emails using mailing lists or email templates and check delivery status.

• Events: Create events, track registrations and event statistics.

• Forms: Create forms or surveys and manage submitted responses.

• Files: Upload and share photos and documents.

• Website: Create and/or administer the group’s website, blog, and discussion boards.
