Preview the New iCIT Website

A new iCIT website will go live on Monday, August 25, and we want to give you a sneak peek. Please take some time to preview the site at http://wwwdev.uww.edu/icit. Also, please especially review the content relevant to your area/services within iCIT. There are still a few final pieces to be put in place, but the vast majority of the site is ready to go. If you have any comments, corrections or other feedback, please reply to Jeff Lovell (lovellj@uww.edu).
Over the past several months we’ve been busy developing the new site, including significantly revising the content and structure for the site. We’ve moved away from the audience-based tabs and toward a service-oriented structure. We expect the new site will make it much simpler for customers to find the information they are looking for, and it is written from a customer oriented perspective.
