If now sorting out events and deciding which ones to register for is a time consuming task -- and particularly overwhelming during Covid -- with Event+, all of the invitations can be accessed in one place. No need to scroll up and down your email inbox opening each email to look for events that you want to attend, no need to worry that you will miss event deadlines.

Once you click on the icon, a side tab will pop up (similar to Google’s Calendar add-in). The events will appear in a chronological order and will include the option to register, cancel, share, or expand them to a bigger window. When clicking on ‘register’, the event will automatically be added to your calendar with no need to open additional tabs and fill out more forms.

Friender
As freshmen entering college in a virtual semester, we have felt very disconnected from campus and our peers. It's extremely difficult to make friends over Zoom, especially those with shared interests. Although there are several "friend matching" applications, a lot of them are notorious for dating rather than platonic or networking relationships. Plus, we realized that there is a lot of subconscious bias when swiping through pictures, so we wanted to create an application that is centered around personality to help facilitate friendships.
