Enhancing Student-Alumni Connectivity: A Web-Based Platform for Career Guidance and Mentorship
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Effective mentorship and career guidance play a crucial role in shaping students' professional journeys. However, the lack of structured interaction between students and alumni often leads to missed opportunities for valuable insights and support. This research presents the development of Campus Connect, a web-based platform designed to bridge this gap by facilitating direct communication and knowledge-sharing between students and alumni. The platform leverages modern web technologies, including React.js, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and WebSockets, to enable real-time messaging, mentorship sessions, and career-related discussions. The system ensures secure authentication, personalized recommendations, and efficient chat management. By fostering meaningful connections, Campus Connect enhances student preparedness, promotes mentorship, and strengthens alumni engagement in the academic ecosystem.
