Web redesign update: content, content, content
We鈥檙e making major progress on the website redesign. Between building the new site and creating all of the content for it, we have a busy few months ahead.
Thanks again to everyone who came to our redesign presentation sessions. If you haven鈥檛 seen the new look yet, let us know! We鈥檙e happy to show it to you.
Our current focus: all new site content
We are all in on content. With just a few months to write everything for the new main website, we need your help getting the information.
Scheduling interviews on campus
Aimee Abshire and I will be reaching out to people across campus to schedule 鈥渋nterviews,鈥 aka informal sessions where we ask about your work, initiatives, and projects. If you hear from us, please clear a little time in your schedule.
The University has grown so much since we launched our current website, and we have a lot more to showcase! Meeting with each of you will help us showcase the impressive work happening here.
Undergraduate program pages
We鈥檝e met with almost every college to get started on program-related content. If you鈥檙e not familiar with our new approach, each undergraduate program will have a dedicated page on the new site. Here鈥檚 more information about the program pages, if you鈥檇 like the details.
To gather all of the information we need for these program pages, all web ambassadors, department heads and program coordinators should have received questionnaires about the programs in their areas.
Many thanks to those who have already returned their questionnaires. If you haven鈥檛 gotten to it yet, please take a moment to fill those out and send them back. We can meet with you to go over the questionnaires together, if that helps. This information is vital to our progress!
Student & alumni spotlights
We鈥檙e always looking for alumni and students to highlight on the website. If you know a student or alum with a compelling or interesting story 鈥 or they鈥檙e just great to talk to 鈥 let us know!
We鈥檇 love to find a place on the website for their stories. We have a set of questions ready to go and we鈥檙e happy to meet.
