CampusConnect Project

Introduction

The CampusConnect project aims to improve student engagement and make university events more accessible within the African Leadership University (ALU) community. To tackle these challenges, we are creating a user-friendly web application called CampusConnect, designed specifically for ALU students. The application will provide real-time updates on events and simplify access to event details, such as eligibility criteria and registration information. CampusConnect aims to foster a sense of community and active participation, targeting the diverse student body at ALU. The anticipated outcomes include increased student engagement, enhanced event participation, and a stronger sense of community.
