ArgoPulse Overview

ArgoPulse is an online database system that is developed and managed by a company called CollegiateLink. It supports registered student organization (RSO) administration through the development of electronic forms and processes, and a process management system that can be configured to include multiple levels of approval when appropriate.

Additionally, it provides RSOs with a secure website that is edited using a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor. Stakeholders in this project include student leaders, students, faculty/staff, campus administrators and alumni.

Departmental Organizations

Faculty and staff can also use ArgoPulse to promote events and activities. For example, the Wellness department has a departmental organization called Peer Educators. This group is not an RSO and is therefore categorized as a departmental organization rather than an RSO.

The Peer Educators offer a wide variety of educational programs throughout the year, and through ArgoPulse they can market them far more effectively through the use of categories and interests. Faculty may wish to create departmental organizations based on courses or cohorts.

All organizations have the choice of whether or not any student can join, so faculty can develop their organizational profile and roster to only include students that are specifically invited to join. Therefore ArgoPulse could help faculty and students organize study groups or plan activities that support the curriculum.
