DeKALB – Huskie Hub, the online platform for student organizations on campus, is accessible as an app. Student organizations can post notices about upcoming-events, communicate with their members and much more. However, while many students find the Hub to be a useful idea, they were previously unaware of its existence!

Do you know what Huskie Hub is? Answer : “I do not.”
If you were in a student organization, would you consider using it?
Answer : “I would. It’s easier than, like, discord or something… I think it’s great that someone made an app so it’s not, like, just bouncing around, like, in a giant Snapchat chat because I’ve had to do that before for school. Or like a discord that’s an absolute nightmare to manage because at least it’s, like, all school-related. So that’s nice.”
