Company profile
researched Sep 2026CampusLush operates a campus engagement platform used by higher education institutions to connect students, prospective students and alumni to campus events, academic resources, student organizations and career opportunities. Institutions deploy a school-branded dashboard through which students discover and access these offerings, while student affairs teams use the same system to create events, route approvals and manage campus-wide communications from a single interface rather than several separate tools.
The platform also provides analytics intended to support institutional decision-making: administrators can track engagement and retention rates, identify gaps in student support, and generate evidence for accreditation and impact reporting. Personalized content delivery is used to surface activities matched to individual student interests. The company positions the product around three stakeholder groups — institutional administration, student affairs, and campus IT/technology teams — and markets solution paths for student success, student engagement and career readiness. CampusLush states its mission is to make campus resources, events and communities more accessible, with an emphasis on marginalized students and institutions such as HBCUs, and it has run a Social Impact Program for HBCUs and a Social Impact Technology Grant program. A consumer-facing side of the product lets students and alumni create individual accounts to find campus events, discover school organizations and connect with peers.
Founding story
Founder Mac Exumé is a first-generation Haitian American and a graduate of Pace University who began his product management career at Pitney Bowes. Motivated by an interest in creating opportunities in underserved communities and in higher education, he founded CampusLush to address gaps that hinder student success, focusing on connecting students to campus resources, events and organizations and on serving marginalized students and institutions such as HBCUs.
Business model
CampusLush sells its platform to colleges and universities, which deploy it as a branded campus hub for their students and alumni; prospective institutional customers are directed to request a demo, and a separate employer-facing track is referenced on the site. Individual students and alumni create free accounts to access events and organizations.
Latest developments
As of 2025 the company was accepting applications for a Social Impact Technology Grant, while its Social Impact Program for HBCUs application had closed. CampusLush was included in the 2024 class of Techstars Impact powered by Cox Enterprises.
