How The University of Notre Dame Transformed RA Training
With Guidebook, we created an all-in-one training guide for the Residential Life team. The app features the training schedule, contact info for everyone on the team, and departmental procedures. It also offers quick access to campus resources and programming tools, making it easier for Hall Staff to support residents throughout the year.
By bringing all the key information and resources into one handy app, staff are better prepared and can provide more effective support to residents all year long.
Built for every department and every campus event.
Guidebook supports every step of the student lifecycle, helping departments engage their communities through flexible, branded apps.
