### 2. **Cross-Department Supervision Enabled**
Removed department restrictions from the supervisor assignment system:

   - Supervisors can now be recommended for ANY student regardless of department

   - Removed department filtering from `findNearestSupervisors` method
   - Updated `findNearestSupervisorsForStudent` to pass `null` for department parameter

#### Impact:

✅ Students from CS department can have supervisors from SN, GMM, or CY
✅ Students from any program can access the full pool of supervisors
✅ Recommendation is based on:
   - Distance to placement location (20% weight)
   - Travel preference match (30% weight)
