BOSTON, MASS. (08/06/2025) – Modo Labs, the driving force behind digital campus experiences, has been named a 2025 AWS EdTech Champion. This annual recognition is awarded by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to education technology leaders making bold, measurable impacts across the learning landscape.

At a time when colleges and universities face mounting pressure to modernize and support a more connected, digital-native student body, Modo Labs is helping institutions deliver on that promise, turning fragmented systems into a fluid experience with AI-driven support and integrated, digital hubs that unify academics, life on campus, and beyond.

Modo’s selection as an AWS EdTech Champion follows a year of significant product advancements, including the launch of My Agent, an AI assistant built with Amazon Bedrock that gives students 24/7, conversational access to campus services, and the rollout of advanced integrations with systems like Anthology Engage, Canvas, and PeopleSoft to simplify the student experience across digital touchpoints.

“We’re honored to be recognized by AWS and Government Technology as a 2025 EdTech Champion,” said Andrew Umans, GM, Higher Education and VP, Strategy & Partnerships at Modo Labs. “This award reflects the incredible work our team and campus partners are doing to reimagine how students interact with technology. It’s about more than access. It’s about creating intelligent, responsive experiences that meet students where they are.”

At the heart of Modo’s platform is a commitment to flexibility and scalability. Institutions use Modo to enable rapid innovation, deep personalization, and cost-effective solutions that support IT, student affairs, and academic units alike.

Unlike traditional platforms, Modo gives colleges and universities complete control, enabling them to launch a fully branded campus app and portal without writing a single line of code. The result? Digital hubs that evolve with student needs, support retention, and drive long-term success while enabling rapid innovation, deep personalization, and solutions that support students, faculty, and alumni alike.

Modo’s award highlights include:

  • My Agent, the AI assistant helping students access support with natural-language ease—no waiting, no confusion
  • Smart integrations with Engage, Canvas, PeopleSoft, and more—bringing everything into one cohesive student experience
  • Hyper-personalized app experiences tailored to each student’s role, location, and interests
  • Real-time engagement insights that help institutions identify trends, intervene earlier, and boost outcomes
  • Seamless app and portal unification, bringing together LMS, SIS, co-curricular involvement, and communications in one place


Modo’s recent recognition as an AWS Education Champion underscores its growing role as the platform of choice for institutions seeking to unify fragmented systems and deliver seamless, personalized digital experiences—across both mobile and web. With a flexible, mobile-first design that extends to the desktop, Modo empowers schools to improve the student journey through modern, data-informed tools that meet learners where they are.

With institutions like Penn State and others already seeing measurable impact, Modo’s momentum in the higher education AI space continues to accelerate. Modo’s generative AI agent is helping institutions modernize engagement and reduce support bottlenecks, without the need for complex system overhauls.

With both FAQ-based and generative AI support options, institutions can choose the right level of intelligence and personalization for their campus needs. The platform also supports behavior-based nudging, enabling proactive outreach based on student activity, and provides admins with full control over escalation logic, permissions, and analytics. Modo’s approach allows schools to launch AI tools in weeks, not months, giving them a fast, secure, and scalable path to innovation.
