The challenge

Eighty-plus clubs, one person to see it all

Before Club Hub, rosters fell out of date, messages got missed, and no one could say for sure which clubs were actually meeting. All of it landed on one person: the activities director spent hours each week chasing rosters and trying to build a full picture that never quite came together.

  • Sign-ups lived in Microsoft Forms, with rosters in spreadsheets that fell out of date within weeks
  • Club leaders sent updates through Teams threads, with no easy way to confirm who saw them
  • Attendance was taken on paper, or not taken at all
  • Faculty moderators ran their clubs on their own, with no shared view for the activities office
  • To find a new club, you had to just know somebody
“The biggest challenge is probably club accountability, because it's student run and because of the sheer number of clubs.”Danny PoellotStudent Activities Director, Ursuline Academy of Dallas
“A parent messages me that their daughter isn't doing anything. Now I can pull up a club and go, 'Well, that's interesting. She signed up for five clubs, and she's an officer in one.'”Danny PoellotStudent Activities Director
Why Club Hub

What Ursuline was looking for

Everything in one place

Sign-ups, messaging, attendance, and events all in one place, instead of five different tools.

Simple enough for students

Clubs are student-run, so leaders needed a tool simple enough to manage a club, its members, and its events themselves.

Real admin visibility

Live data on who's in what, who's showing up, and which clubs are thriving or stalling.

The impact

Now it all lives in one place

In its first year, Club Hub replaced the old mix of Teams, Forms, and spreadsheets. “The level of accountability has changed so much.”

Voices from campus

One platform, every role

“Club Hub sends me a weekly email with the time, location, and name of all my meetings for the week.”

Sophomore & Club LeaderUrsuline Academy of Dallas

“It helps me find clubs that fit my interests, and it helps me get service hours.”

FreshmanUrsuline Academy of Dallas

“It's very easy for a kid to say on a resume, 'I'm involved in 10 clubs.' But they haven't gone to one meeting.”

“We don't have clubs just to say we have clubs. It's not an optics thing. Club Hub creates real opportunities for connection, for service, and for growth and leadership.”
