MDC features the Motivote resource prominently on its main website, including promotional materials and informational resources for staff, faculty and students. Featuring Motivote here messages that its a trusted, institutionally vetted resource.

Instead of a one-off rollout, MDC recognized the need to be flexible with busy schedules and competing priorities. The leadership team held regular drop-in info sessions for students, faculty and staff. After introducing Motivote with a short promo video, a student leader walked through the platform, fields questions, and provides next steps.

While screen-sharing her walkthrough of the Motivote platform, the leader invites attendees to sign up live. This lets them get a feel for the experience, get excited about the features, and ask initial questions. It also reduces drop-off. You can use the Members Leaderboard to track new users in real-time.

At the end of the session, the team ends with a clear call to action and specific suggestions for attendees. Instead of vague requests to participate, the suggestions are campus-specific — and easy to act on with links and QR codes.

MDC obtained grant funding to support faculty, staff and students to design engagements around Motivote. Anyone could apply for a $100-$300 mini-grant for events and prizes. They also provide a "menu" of concrete ideas to implement.
