This is a simple splash page created for a Rutgers University student organization event back in 2015. The Rutgers PBL (Problem-Based Learning) group hosted a special dining event with distinguished guests, and this website served as the main landing page to promote and provide information about it. The site is built with HTML, the basic building block of web pages, so it's straightforward and lightweight. It was designed to be a welcoming first impression for people interested in learning more about or attending the event. The README mentions the page can be viewed online and references a custom domain that was set up specifically for the event. This type of project is typical of student organizations that need a quick, clean way to announce events. Rather than relying solely on email or social media, having a dedicated web page makes the event feel more official and gives people a single place to find details. In this case, the organization chose to keep it simple with plain HTML rather than building something more complex. The project is now archived as a historical record of that 2015 event, useful if the organizers wanted to look back on how they promoted it, or if someone wanted to see an example of how student groups used to build web presences in the mid-2010s.
