Padua Unveils SuperFan Student Engagement App
Padua announced the release of the Padua Franciscan AlwaysABruin SuperFan mobile app in September 2021.
School administrators worked with SuperFan, a leader in student engagement at hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide. The app allows students to earn loyalty rewards when they attend Padua events.
“We talked about different ways to engage our students and this app is a natural fit,” said Principal Bob DiRocco. “In just
the few months since it launched, students have shown great participation and support of the app. We’re excited to offer this enhanced experience to our students, prospective students and employees now.”
Bruins can earn 15 points for attending Padua athletic events, fine arts performances and club meetings. They can also earn points by correctly answering trivia questions and participating in photo challenges. Students can win prizes like Padua gear, gift cards, class socials and lunch with friends.
The mobile app is free and can be downloaded on iPhone or Android devices by searching for Padua Franciscan AlwaysABruin.
