Department Website Cookbook

Timeline

The goal of this project is to have the major components of a 'generic' department website defined and implemented before  the summer of 2002. With these components in place, we can then go department by willing department during the summer and the upcoming academic year so that by the spring of 2003 all departments (and by department we mean departments, programs, and clusters) that wish to participate in this process will have had the opportunity to participate.  

To do this, we are working with a select number of self-selected departments, programs, and clusters during the fall of 2001 and the spring of 2002 to put in place the major components of a department website, as defined by a survey of existing department sites. 

If you wish to participate in this process, please contact Michael Roy (mroy@wesleyan.edu ) at x2126.
