Build me a polished alumni connection app for graduates to stay in touch in one secure place.

I want a clean web app where alumni can sign in, view and update their profile, browse a community directory, see news or announcements, and find ways to reconnect with classmates and the school. It should feel friendly, modern, and simple to use, with a homepage that explains the purpose clearly and a dashboard that makes the community easy to explore.

Please set up the frontend and backend so the app actually runs end to end, and make the design responsive so it works well on desktop and mobile. Use the existing project structure, and if you need current docs for setup or styling, look them up online. Keep the experience centered on a secure, centralized alumni community, and make sure the app looks like something a real alumni network would use.
