Webmaster's Corner
I had the opportunity to speak at the Fall Faculty Institute last Friday. It was great fun to discuss the new website design and the content management system. Everyone seemed interested and asked a lot of questions. I'm posting my Power Point presentation here to share with anyone who might be interested.
Redesign of the Lincoln continues. The navigation structure is morphing to match the new format and I get calls almost daily from people asking where something has moved. A lot of exciting changes are also taking place to the look and feel of the site, including a new Students landing page and the inclusion of information for Residence Life that was started as a student project last Spring.
I plan to continue working with the various departments through September and hope to have everything in place by the end of the month. Keep checking here to find out what's new.
