Wash U Doing
Contents
Project Overview
Wash U Doing is a novel interactive website bringing Washington University students and student groups together. On-campus WUSTL groups will have the opportunity to create events on Wash U Doing, which students can find by easy filtering through their event needs. To promote such events, students can also live share photos and announcements in a forum.
