Project Overview
Project Description
Team Phoenix is building a CCA portal (smyou.com) for SMU students to revolutionize the way students share their student life activities. This portal is dedicated for them to find out more about CCAs in SMU, starting from their background information into future events and other announcements, which are updated by committee of the CCA. In addition, students will be able to rate their own CCAs accordingly. Furthermore, this application enables students to share their opinion among their peers by creating Testimonials. Finally, the team will create an iPhone application, with the same functionality which enables student to check the latest update of student life activities from their own iPhone. Ultimately, Team Phoenix builds this portal
