The University of Arizona wanted to make Family Weekend more memorable and easy to navigate for families and supporters.

With Guidebook, they created a Family Weekend app that put everything families needed right at their fingertips. Guests could easily check out the schedule of exciting events, dive into Wildcat traditions, and find the best spots to eat on campus. The app also connected them with key campus resources and made it simple to stay in touch after the weekend through social media.

Using Guidebook turned Family Weekend into a smooth, enjoyable experience. Families felt more connected, not just to their students, but to the entire campus community. With real-time updates, easy access to information, and a direct link to the university, they made sure everyone left with great memories and a stronger bond with the Wildcat family.

Coastal Carolina University uses Guidebook to power a fully paperless orientation experience for one of its largest incoming classes yet (with over 70% of students arriving from out of state, many for the very first time).

- Navigate an unfamiliar campus with interactive maps and turn-by-turn guidance.
- Follow real-time schedules that update instantly when plans change.
- Stay on separate family and student tracks to keep parallel programming clear.
- Access next steps like family weekend registration and pre-arrival task lists.
- Download the app right at check-in via QR code.

The result is a more confident, connected, and campus-ready incoming class (and the analytics to prove people are genuinely using it).
