CASE STUDY
Redlands had already moved clubs and events into Minga, but it wanted every student to tune in. Digital IDs and hall passes became the hook: 96% of students now use a digital ID, and hallway traffic fell 75%.

THE CHALLENGE
Too Many Channels, Not Enough Students Paying Attention
Back in 2019, Activities Director Katie Baker was posting every extracurricular update herself across several channels, and students still didn’t know what was going on. Teachers ran clubs on different platforms, which overwhelmed students. Minga’s feed helped bring clubs and events together, but Katie wanted more: higher turnout, one channel instead of many, and students who cared about campus life.
Key problem areas:
- Low student interest and participation
- Messages spread across too many channels
- Complex workflows and too many tools
- No easy way to manage IDs and hallways
- Teachers using different platforms and methods
But how do you track 2000 kids? That is an overwhelming concept. Which kids are involved and which aren’t?”
THE SOLUTION
Digital IDs and Hall Passes as the Hook
Katie calls digital IDs and hall passes the “hook.” Every student needs them, so every student opens Minga, and the activity on the feed keeps them there.
Redlands retired every promotion channel except its website and ASB Instagram, so Minga became the school’s student engagement platform and the place to find out what’s happening. Digital hall passes cleared the halls, and digital IDs ended the yearly ID printing.
What Minga offered:
- Digital IDs every student uses
- Digital hall passes with a real-time dashboard
- A school feed with notifications
- Event check in, planning, and promotion
- Engagement data built in as students use the platform
We have cut down hallway meandering by approximately 75%.”
THE OUTCOMES
One Student Engagement Platform, Higher Turnout
96% of students use a digital ID
Students have a reason to open Minga every day.
75% less hallway traffic
Hallway traffic during class time dropped by about three quarters.
100 feed posts a month
Minga is now where students find out what’s happening on campus.
Higher event turnout
More students are attending events.
No more ID printing
Registration day is far easier without printing and reprinting student IDs.
Data without extra work
Engagement data builds up as students use the platform, ready for staff to act on.
What I love, is the more you use Minga, you inadvertently start to build up essential data and you don’t even know it. That data is valuable and can be leveraged to enhance your school management. Its all-in-one tool makes it easy to manage the data, and act on it.”
