North Seattle College (NSC) provides a dynamic range of opportunities for students seeking engagement in campus life. This encompasses a diverse selection of events sponsored by Student Leadership and faculty, encompassing both entertaining and informative gatherings. Additionally, students can participate in thought-provoking lectures, community meetings, captivating library exhibits, and events tailored for transfer students.
Currently, these events are conveniently listed in a table-like format on the NSC website. Clicking on a specific event's hyperlink expands to reveal additional details. To streamline communication, students can sign up for email notifications for events or clubs of interest. Notifications are also sent through Canvas and NSC mail servers, keeping students informed about all upcoming events.
In a significant move to enhance accessibility and consolidate how many times students are notified, NSC-Events collaborated with the NSC Application Development department in June 2023. Together, we have developed separate web and mobile applications to showcase, register, and track event participation across the entire campus. The shared backend app facilitates seamless connectivity with cloud services, streamlining data collection from pre-event clicks to the actual number of attendees.
This service enhancement, particularly the robust data collection, will prove invaluable to event planners and administrators alike. Increased knowledge about which events are being viewed, coupled with post-event participation data, will empower planners to organize more successful events with higher attendance rates.

As a student team primarily operating asynchronously, our journey commenced in late June '23, working diligently under a grant-approved program at NSC for the initial 100 days. Throughout the summer, we not only made significant strides in our project but also forged strong team bonds, marking our first collaborative experience. Collectively, we reached the milestone of MVP1 by November 3, 2023 within the mobile app.
