Highlights
We’re excited to introduce a powerful new addition to Collaboratory: the Programs/Initiatives Landing Page! 🎉
This feature provides institutions with a centralized, dynamic space to showcase their key engagement and service efforts - whether they’re university-wide initiatives, thematic programs, or long-standing partnerships. By organizing related activities under a common banner, the landing page enhances storytelling, improves discoverability, and supports more strategic tracking and reporting.
This release also lays important groundwork for upcoming enhancements, including our AI Automation features and custom fields in the activity form, both of which will further expand flexibility and automation across the platform.
