PATH: Profiles and Academic Tracking Hub

Version 1.0

---

1. Objective

Faculty members currently lack a centralized system to track students’ academic progress, technical skills, and career goals. This information is often scattered across emails and informal conversations, resulting in lost insights and limited analytics. As a result, faculty members face challenges when advising students or writing informed recommendations.

To address this problem, PATH proposes a dedicated Student Knowledgebase system that provides a structured, searchable, and long-term profile for each student. The system is designed for faculty use and enables efficient access to organized student information over time.
