Boosting Student Engagement
Engagement isn’t just about opening an email, liking a social post or attending the occasional event; it’s about students discovering opportunities, taking part, having their voices heard, and feeling part of a community. That could be joining a society, voting in an election, volunteering, attending an event, or simply finding the support they need.
MSL brings it all together, connecting communications, student groups, events, volunteering, representation, and insights to create a seamless journey that encourages participation, builds belonging, and improves outcomes for everyone.
Events That Fill the Room
MSL makes it simple to plan, promote, and deliver events that bring your student community together.
With Events and Ticketing, you can showcase events online and through the StudentLink®+ app, making discovery and booking effortless, boosting attendance.
The Door Entry module streamlines check-in for an improved at-venue experience and provides clear data on attendance, allowing you to explore areas such as attendee demographics or no-shows, ultimately building a better understanding of your events and their engagement.
For non-ticketed activities, MSL Attendance tracks participation, giving you a complete picture of student engagement.
From first sign-up to final report, MSL helps you support, grow, and evidence engagement, so you can deliver unforgettable events and demonstrate their impact.

Opportunities to Join Groups & Societies
Make it easy for students to discover and join clubs, societies, and sports. The easier it is, the more involved they become. MSL makes groups highly visible, simple to join, and easy to manage.
- Give committee members the tools to manage their own web content, events, and communications.
- Sell tickets, upload resources, track attendance, and run meetings all in one place.
- Give clubs and societies access to tailored tools like grant applications, group finance, and activity planning.
With MSL, your groups are empowered to self-serve to ensure they engage their members, while your staff keep oversight.
Representation & Voice
True student engagement goes beyond showing up. It’s about giving students a voice and proving their opinions matter. MSL’s Elections module, Feedback module and Student Voice tools make participation accessible, showing students that their opinions shape real decisions.
Students can vote, share ideas, and raise issues, while you capture valuable insights to shape future decisions.
When students see their input leading to and the driver behind real change, they feel valued, connected, and inspired to stay actively involved in their community.

Volunteering That Inspires Involvement
Opportunities for growth motivate students to get involved. MSL helps you advertise volunteering roles, track skills gained through leadership and activities, then celebrate contributions. When students see the real value of volunteering, both personal and professional, engagement increases naturally, fostering a culture of active participation across your community.
Website and Accessibility That Removes Barriers
Students take part more when information is easy to find. MSL websites bring together clubs, events, support, and resources in one accessible, mobile-friendly hub. Integrations like Single Sign-On (SSO) and accessibility tools ensure every student can participate, removing friction and enabling a truly inclusive experience for your entire community.

Inclusion Through Insights
Engagement is different for every student.
With MSL’s library of reports and dashboards, you can uncover any gaps in participation, identifying marginalised or underrepresented groups.
With these insights, your team can explore offerings and adapt strategies to bring more students into the fold, creating a truly inclusive student experience.
