Project Purpose
Campus Event Manager is a specialized platform designed to bridge the gap between students and campus life. Built specifically for the academic environment, the system serves as a centralized hub where students can discover activities, stay informed about upcoming programs, and actively engage with the events that matter most to their campus community. By providing a real-time, searchable calendar of technology workshops, cultural festivals, career fairs, and sporting events, the platform ensures that no student misses out on the opportunities that define the college experience.
User Roles & Capabilities
Usage of Campus Event Manager is divided into three distict roles:
- User - Browse and search for events across carious categories, sign up for events to track personal attentance, and recieve real-time updates and alerts regarding events they have RSVP'd to
- Organizer - Access a dedicated dashboard to draft and submit new event proposals, propose events for specific categories and add relevant tags to increase visibility, and submit created events to the admin queue for approval before they are published
- Admin - Review all pending event submissions from organizers with authority to approve for public viewing or delete appropriate entries, manage the user database and view or delete registered accounts, and supervise the general flow of campus activities and platform health
Data Storage & Security
All persistent storage is organized into structured collections using MongoDB Atlas, a cloud-based NoSQL database,
to allow for flexible and scalable management of campus information including user data, event data, and application states.
User security is a core priority of the platform's architecture. Passwords are never stored in plain-text and are instead
stored using Bcrypt hashing, which allows for one-way protection of sensitive information and secure authentication
while never accessing the original plain-text password.
