Campus Connect is founded and operated by Jessica Schweitzer. Jessica is a Central Connecticut State University graduate and entrepreneur. While in the School of Business, the idea for Campus Connect evolved from a class project into a unique business adventure.
Jessica has made it her primary goal to create a website that offers solutions to some of the biggest problems for students on campus today. In her own words, "Being a student, I remember the frustration accompanied with losing money each semester when buying and selling my textbooks to the bookstore, the hardships of finding cheaper books else where, and trying to save money to help afford my tuition payments. I want to offer current students a solution to solve the problems that I had, and Campus Connect does exactly that."
Campus Connect started growing after launching in Connecticut in October 2009, and continues to grow. Interested in learning more? Watch the video on the hompage, from Fox 61 News, highlighting Jessica's success.
You are looking at Campus Connect version 1.4. We intend to bring a social media component in version 2.0 that will bridge the gap between your sterile, university-based event calendar and your fragmented, public social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). We also intend to expand our money-saving services and reach more campuses. If you have ideas, suggestions for improvement, or just want to provide feedback on our site, please contact us.
