Roshan Prabakaran, junior biology major, said using SharkHub made it easier for him to become aware of on-campus events.
“During the orientation and UNIV course [back in 2023], I [was] introduced to SharkHub and its features. SharkHub has been really easy to access and especially beneficial to the returning and incoming students who can check the location of the events,” Prabakaran said.
Tamara Lumsden, former assistant director of Club and Organization Engagement in the Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement, said SharkHub is a central hub for active clubs and their activities.
“SharkHub is the engagement platform for clubs and organizations,” Lumsden said. “If you are looking for organizations to join, you have the opportunity to go through [SharkHub’s] organization directory. If you want to be involved and attend events, there’s an event calendar that allows you to see what events are [currently happening] or upcoming.”
Active clubs can go through SharkHub to host events.
“Any organization that wants to host an event on campus has to submit it through SharkHub, so that our reservations team here can process that request for them,” Lumsden said.
Students who want to attend club activities must use their event passes.
“Event passes are a unique QR code to each NSU student,” Lumsden said. “It allows [students] to be able to have their attendance tracked at any event that is approved and registered on SharkHub.”
Students show their passes to the hosts before they participate in the event.
Lumsden said organizations can also host elections through SharkHub as well. Students can vote for Homecoming Court, the Undergraduate Student Government Association administration and Inter-Organizational Council.
“You see each individual user, how they voted [and] what they selected [on SharkHub],” Lumsden said.
Lumsden said students can check and filter organization profiles on SharkHub.
“You can check out [organization profiles to] see if that’s something that interests you, and you can even categorize it by your interests,” Lumsden said. “So whether you’re looking for community service org or academic or pre-professional orgs, multicultural org, you can categorize it to kind of narrow down your search.”
Prabakaran said SharkHub allowed him to participate in on-campus events.
“SharkHub has helped me to engage and involve myself on campus through event reminders and finding organizations to join,” Prabakaran said.
To get assistance with SharkHub, students can go to the Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement located in Don Taft University Center, suite 1235. If organizations are having issues with SharkHub, the best way to get assistance is to contact nsuclubs@nova.edu.
