What is Get Involved?
The Get Involved platform was created to connect the engagement of people with organizations and events to support student development. This is achieved by a single, common, website application that manages the full lifecycle of the student organization experience.
What is the Purpose of Get Involved?
- Deliver a common platform for all recognized student organizations that is central to the division’s strategy for effective student engagement and “High Impact Practices” (HIP) in support of the university’s objectives for student retention and success
- Decommission insufficient legacy custom website applications by consolidating them into a single portal (StuAct Online, MaroonLink, SGA Voting, etc.)
- Designed to provide the flexibility needed to support the diverse and changing functional processes used throughout the division while enabling data-driven decision making and enabling self-service for customers with minimal IT support
- Customized full-lifecycle workflows
- Best practices (e.g. rubrics, identity-hidden evaluations, accountability)
- Stakeholder governance for ensuring the involvement and input of key stakeholders to define critical areas of improvement and growth
- Lower overall service cost by reducing staffing overhead for maintaining multiple systems and legacy applications
- Data analytics to inform future decisions on student and staff support
Who Does Get Involved Serve?
- Student organizations
- Division of Student Affairs staff
- Advisors to student organizations
- University staff

MaroonLink Replaced with New Features in Get Involved
“The Department of Student Activities, in partnership with Technology Services - Student Affairs, has been working to streamline student organization management services and resources within the new Get Involved platform. Part of that transition was the discontinuation of the MaroonLink platform, which was decommissioned on March 30, 2024. New options to replace the MaroonLink functionality such as form creation and collection and event attendance tracking have been added to the Get Involved platform. Please reach out to the SOLAD office with any questions.”
