Creating a single platform for managing Club and Event Activities on College Campuses is one of the primary goals of transforming colleges into digital institutions. Many colleges still use outdated manual methods for managing events which can lead to unorganized, disjointed systems to create, approve and track events. This survey will provide information about current systems available in the marketplace to Colleges and Universities utilizing automated event and club management systems, focusing on architecture / functionality/ scalability/limitations of various systems. This evaluation will also look at existing systems that utilize Role Based Access Control, Real Time Notification Systems, Automated Approval Process' and database driven Event Participation Tracking Mechanisms [1],[2],[4],[9],[10]. Based on our evaluation, we will also outline how modular each of these systems are; strategies to provide users with engaging experiences; and difficulties in integrating these systems within current College and University infrastructure. Additionally, we will focus on the benefits of having a single dashboard for Students, Club Leaders and Administrators to increase the transparency and efficiency of operations on college campuses. Our contributions include A Classifying System for Existing Systems; A Comparative Analysis of Implementation Techniques; A Verification of Research Gaps; Recognition of New Trends Such as Artificial Intelligence Driven Personalization [3],[8]; and Enhancement of Physical Security Solutions. Ultimately, through this research, we will provide higher education professionals with knowledge about the current state and future direction of centralized platforms for communicating campus information and managing campus events effectively.
