The Bridge at Loyola University Maryland
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.
Users
Anyone with an active Loyola.edu email account 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.
Group Officers
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.
