Run training week without the chaos.
RA training is the most important week of your year, and the most fragmented. Hangtight puts the schedule, every handout, and your whole cohort in one purpose-built experience, so you can run the week instead of chasing it.
Everything training week needs, in one app.
Purpose-built for Residence Life teams running student housing staff training, not a generic event app bent to fit. Here is what your RAs and your team get.
One live schedule
Every session, meal, and break in a single agenda that is always current. When a room or time changes, you update it once and every RA is notified instantly. No reprinting, no group-text scramble.
- Color-coded by category across the whole program
- Tracks help RAs navigate hundreds of options
- Each RA stars sessions to build a personal agenda
- Instant push notifications the moment anything moves
One training, many ways through
No two RAs come in with the same needs. Tracks group sessions into clear paths like First-Year Support, Community Building, Crisis Response, and more, so every RA can follow the route that fits their role and walk away with training built for them.
- Curated paths for new and returning RAs
- Sessions keep their category and can carry a track
- Training shaped around what each RA actually needs
Everything you need, in one place
Session details, handouts, and your facilitator are all in the app so nothing gets lost between sessions.
- Session time, room, and track at a glance
- Downloadable handouts and resources
- Add any session to your personal schedule
Help the cohort connect early
Training week works better when new and returning RAs can begin learning who is in the room. Optional matching prompts give staff a low-pressure way to discover shared interests and start conversations.
- Interest matching ranks RAs by shared answers
- You write the questions, fun or practical, no free text
- Each match shows exactly what they have in common
- Give new staff an easier conversation starter
Cut through the noise
Announcements sent straight to text, no app-checking required. Every RA gets it instantly, right where they're already looking.
- No group texts, no lost emails
- Delivered directly to each RA's phone
- Full announcement history in one place
- Send to everyone or just the people who need to know
Where your cohort comes together
One group chat for your entire training week — with the tools to actually keep it organized. RAs connect, collaborate, and build community before they ever step on the floor.
- Subchats to organize by group, track, or floor
- Pin important messages so nothing gets lost
- Polls to gather feedback or make decisions fast
- No switching between apps, it all lives in Hangtight
Powerful features designed to
make your training week run smoothly.
The small things that add up to a week your staff can actually rely on.
Announcements
Push an update to every RA at once and know it actually reached them: a room change, a reminder, a last-minute swap.
Learning outcomes
Add a plain "what you will walk away with" to any session, so RAs know why they are in the room and you can see training landed.
Categories & tracks
Organize sessions into color-coded categories and cross-cutting tracks so RAs follow the path that fits their role.
Materials & resources
The handbook, session slides, and policy docs, searchable and attached to the right session, available all year, not just training week.
Group & floor chats
Built-in messaging by cohort and floor, so coordination does not scatter across personal numbers and group texts.
One-link onboarding
No app store hunt, no accounts to provision. Send one invite link and your whole cohort is in, in minutes.
