Service Focused Website Redesign

Launched October 2022

Background & Objective

How might we provide important information to incoming and current students while still serving as a staff resource?

Provide a more streamlined student experience:

  • Advisors are getting similar questions in many of their meetings with students
  • The website content was written by advisors deciding what made sense for the students
  • Original site is very linear, walking through a process to graduation that isn’t always straight-forward
