A Brand New up.edu

July 29, 2016

celebrationPhase I of the University’s much-anticipated redesigned website launches on Monday, August 1, when some 60 of the University’s highest-traffic sites will debut a brand new look. The web redesign project includes both a new look for the website as well as a new content management system (CMS). The new CMS, Cascade Server, was installed last spring and will ultimately replace Sherpa for all content management on UP’s main website, up.edu. More than 100 superusers have been trained in the new system.

The redesign process included focus groups with representatives from all departments on campus, one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders, and surveys of faculty, staff, students, prospective students, parents, alumni, and donors. The site was designed with a “mobile-first” strategy. Currently about half of the University’s web site traffic comes from mobile devices; numbers are even higher for sites that cater to prospective students.

Phase II of the web redesign includes a new look for the online campus directory and improved individual pages for faculty and staff to personalize with information about their professional experience, interests, and activities. The new directory will launch in October.

Phase III includes the transition of the remaining 40 sites to Cascade Server. They will roll over to the new site throughout the fall.

For more information, contact Amy Shelly, marketing, at shelly@up.edu or 8232 or Lisel Stancil, web and enterprise services, at stancil@up.edu or 7481.

Retirement Party for John Furey, Jan. 27

January 22, 2016

furey the legendA collective gasp spread through the campus at the news of John Furey, marketing and communications, retiring at the end of this month. Furey, “the man, the myth, the legend,” has seen the University grow and change over his 19 years on The Bluff. Renowned around campus and beyond as “Everyone’s best friend,” Furey has long been an essential part of the marketing and communications team. His boisterous laugh, his endless amount of yarns and tall tales, and his unwavering love of both the Pilots and the Beavers will be missed.

Marketing and communications will host a Farewell Furey party in the Terrace Room on Wednesday, January 27, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. All are welcome to come and wish Furey the very best as he begins this next phase of his epic journey of life.
