Admissions and Recruiting
As the primary focus of the website is recruitment, the Fall 2011 semester focused heavily on improving and expanding the Admissions and Financial Aid section of the site.
Photo Galleries
Promoting the UB brand in a compelling and visual way is the goal of the new UB Photo Galleries feature area. Simple and colorful, prospective students who are interested in UB can view galleries in categories like Student Life, Athletics, Academics, and more.

Admissions Section Redesign
The Admissions and Financial Aid area has been redesigned to make it easier for students to apply to UB. As a large university, UB has many different audiences that may apply, and ensuring that the website is easy for each audience to find what they need is crucial. The new landing pages offers clarity of navigation and visual interest for prospective students.

To date, we have approximately 20 landlords with paid accounts using the system to list their properties to students.
