In February 1996 a group of 36 fully accredited colleges and universities that serve the greater Southern California area came together to form an organization called the "e;Consortium of Southern California Colleges and Universities."e; Today, the Consortium has over 70 members and is still growing. The original purpose of the organization was to promote, organize, and schedule education fairs for the employees of local businesses and members of community organizations. In this way working adults would have easy access to information about education and financial aid opportunities.
This project was a relatively simple one. A basic custom CMS was installed with a calendar to display upcoming events.
A restricted area for CSCCU members only contains documents and registration forms for upcoming meetings and events. Integration with PayPal was done for payment of registration fees and membership dues.
