Countdown to Site Launch

In just a few weeks UNC Asheville will launch a newly organized and designed Web site with a variety of new features and an exciting new look! The new site will feature a completely redesigned Homepage that will show the world what a vibrant educational community is to be found at UNC Asheville.

At the same time, the new site will offer more than 100 new pages of content, photos, videos, slideshows and other ways to help tell our story. The staff in Communications, ITS, Admissions, Development and Student Affairs will be making final changes to their pages within our site during January, and we anticipate a go-live launch on Feb. 5.

More pages of the site, including those representing academic departments, centers and others, will gradually be phased into the new templates during the Spring semester as soon as staff are trained to use the new Content Management System, called Drupal.

Stay tuned to this blog for further updates.

In the meantime, go ahead and make unca.edu YOUR homepage on your browser so you can be sure to stay current on the latest news and activities from UNC Asheville.
