## Overview

AlumConnect is a Django alumni-community platform. Users register or sign in, then use role-based dashboards and profiles to discover alumni, request mentorship, apply for jobs, join events, donate to campaigns, share stories, and message others. The graph preserves these distinct capabilities and the shared account/data layer. Views and models for several features are identified by the repository tree and README; their detailed call wiring was not sampled, so those internal relationships are left out.

Main entry points: [`almaconnect/urls.py`](https://github.com/parthptl0911/alumaconnect/blob/main/almaconnect/urls.py) (URL dispatcher), [`apps/accounts/views.py`](https://github.com/parthptl0911/alumaconnect/blob/main/apps/accounts/views.py) (Accounts & profiles), [`almaconnect/settings.py`](https://github.com/parthptl0911/alumaconnect/blob/main/almaconnect/settings.py) (Configured database), [`apps/accounts/models.py`](https://github.com/parthptl0911/alumaconnect/blob/main/apps/accounts/models.py) (Account records)
