site organization and usability
We’ve rethought how the site is organized to better reflect the expectations students bring with them when they first visit.In our research, the #1 area of interest was:“Do you have what I want?”
This approach accommodates the various navigational approaches people take. The ease-of-use and focus on utility sends a message
that we respect the student’s time and have anticipated their needs.
