Weekly Friday Web Update

This is a catch-up post, as the last few weeks have been very busy and I'd like to recap them both together.

SEO
Work has continued on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) on the new website.  We are continually taking efforts to build our search rankings and traffic.


Necessary voices video posted
The second video can be found at bridgeport.edu/voices and we are working to produce the third lecture, where Dick Allen, Connecticut Poet Laureate will speak this Thursday.


Events
Notable events posted included the Engineering Colloquium series, International Education Week and many more.  With so much happening at UB, just finding time to post the many events that happen during the course of a week is a great challenge to have.  If you have any events, please send them to me to be posted.

New Waterbury page
A new look was created for the Waterbury page, which includes a new event listing and link to the IDEAL video.


ActiveCampus Upgrade
We are working to schedule an upgrade of the new CMS software with our vendor, Datatel.  This upgrade will allow us to begin training folks in the new software on updating their pages.

Web Review Meetings
The Web Review Meetings have continued and have been very positive, and will continue throughout the semester.  An issue that has been coming up repeatedly is the inclusion of content from the old site.  I am happy to accommodate those requests, if folks alert me to the content they would like moved into the new site.  There are always adjustments that need to be made after such a major redesign and restructuring, and I am happy to work together with everyone on these issues.

Faculty Information pages
Designing new templates to house faculty information has been a major priority, as this information is of interest to prospective students and parents.  We will be communicating soon with the academic areas about the new template for faculty information.

That's it for now, stay tuned...
