The new www.nku.edu is here. May 13, the university will release its rebuilt website. With 600-plus new pages, including, among others, the home page, academics and admissions pages, the site has become more user friendly. And with photos on many of those pages, the site is able to provide a sense of the spirit here at NKU. The website has become one of the primary ways prospective students learn of our university, and it is important to show them the best face possible as well as provide the most useful and relevant content for other users: current students, staff, faculty, alumni and those in the community. The new site achieves that goal and will help NKU fulfill its mission to students and the region. For those who need help transitioning to the new site, Information Technology will provide one-on-one assistance May 14 in the lobby of the University Center and in the lobby of Lucas Administrative Center. For other questions regarding the WEB Project, contact Jim Nilson at nilsonj@nku.edu or Kathy Bennett at bennettk2@nku.edu. |
