Web Update
The transition from the University’s current Web site to the new, interactive, state-of-the-art Datatel Web site continues, and the launch date is expected to be at the end of May.
Webmaster Bill Kennedy and Art Petrosemolo, associate vice president for communications/marketing (Metro/Flor), request the University community’s help during the next few weeks to identify students and faculty to be profiled on this new site. One of the interactive features of the Datatel Web site will be that personalized pages for every prospective student or visitor can be developed based on the information each provides. For example, a prospective biology major would receive news about the allied health and biological sciences department or School of Natural Sciences along with photos and profiles of students and faculty in those areas.
Kennedy and Petrosemolo have reached out to the department chairs and school directors to seek nominations of undergraduate (freshman, sophomore or junior) or graduate students to profile. Suggestions to the chairs and directors should be accompanied by information about what makes these individuals special or interesting.
In addition, the pair will be attending college and department meetings in the next several weeks to provide more information about the upcoming Web changes.
The March issue of Inside FDU on the Web will contain additional information on the migration of Web pages and training for Web writers and editors in University departments.
