Beginning in 1982, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and the Cameron School of Business started hosting Business Week. Business Week is a time for alums, recruiters, and mentors from each field of business to come and speak with current business students. This week offers a chance for students to network with their peers and potential colleagues. To make this week possible, professors must release their students from class to attend sessions. Because of this, most professors require their students to attend at least one session per class that removes them. The current system requires students to turn in a 'session ticket' to their professor that is handed out at the end of each session they attend. For this project, we are solving the problem of an outdated and inefficient attendance system. This system utilizes UNCW's active directory to use preexisting credentials for students and professors and the ADA server, which IT/Computer Science departments run. This system allows students to log in, select the session they are attending, select the professor they would like to notify of their attendance and enter a session code to verify their attendance. Students can view previously recorded sessions and delete sessions they may need to update. The system also allows professors to log in through a link specific to faculty members and view a table of students, along with the session name, who have selected them as the professor to notify. Not only is this system more efficient, but it will also save thousands of dollars each year.
