Want to learn more about upcoming events on
Millikin University's campus? Dining options or the latest Millikin
news? This fall semester, Millikin University has launched its first
mobile app called "MU2go," an app that provides quick access to
content for students, faculty, families and friends who interact
with the Big Blue community.

The MU2go app is designed to provide a fast, reliable
mobile experience for users to find Millikin content including:
information about campus dining locations, hours and menus; quick
access to emergency contacts and frequently used apps; and
information on the latest University happenings as well as special
events. With the MU2go app, users can quickly access the content
that is important to them.
"MU2go will make it easier for users to access the content they need
without having to navigate through the website to do so," said
Millikin Web Developer Jessica Landgrebe, creator of MU2go. "Having
a mobile app keeps Millikin University in step with modern
technology."

MU2go is a hybrid application available for both iOS and Android
devices. It features content, filtered down by target audience, so
only one application is needed for all users. The app is available
now on the App Store or the Google Play Store.
"A mobile application can act as a recruitment tool
for prospective students and a retention tool for existing
students," said Landgrebe. "By providing mobile applications to help
meet students' and the community's growing expectations, we can
increase retention and enrollment numbers across the University. By
leveraging mobile applications we can better engage with the
Millikin community, Decatur (Ill.) and surrounding communities."

Also available is the MilliMoji app – a sticker pack that makes
it easy for users to express themselves in emoji shorthand, enrich conversations
and show their school pride. Users can create fun conversations with Millikin
friends and family, check in at their favorite events and places by sharing on
social media, all from their phone's own messaging system.
The MilliMoji app is a native application also available on both iOS and Android
app stores. For Android, the MilliMoji app is a standalone app used to share
emojis and stickers. The MilliMojis can be easily integrated into the messaging
keyboard using Gboard, where the emojis and stickers can be shared in all
messaging apps. For iOS, the sticker pack is automatically integrated into the
user's messaging keyboard to be shared with family and friends.
