Spring 2007

In January, the Rose-Hulman Web site took on a new look. The redesign was developed after much study and consultation with various campus constituencies including current students, prospective students, the president’s office, the president’s executive cabinet, academic department heads, alumni, the alumni office, the public relations office, and the admissions office.

New features on the site include navigation by constituency – prospective students, current students, alumni, parents, and business connections. These constituent links complemented the existing links that focus on various campus areas such as academics, administration, support services, athletics, student life and giving to Rose-Hulman.

Also new to the site is a section called “Success Stories” that will feature vignettes about alumni, students, faculty and staff. “We believe all of our people are success stories, and this feature allows us to call attention to the people of Rose-Hulman,” said Bryan Taylor, director of publications and webmaster.

Overall, the redesign has brought more information to the “top of the site” and increased ways to retrieve information from the site, Taylor said. This was done without “cluttering the site,” he noted.

The work was done by the Office of Public Relations with input from various campus constituents. The lead design was done by Hyung-Jung Chang, Web developer and publications assistant in the office.
