You think you're busy, try taking 25,000 calls in one day. And that would be a casual day at the office for the UMass Boston web site, which routinely fields that many "hits" from users all over the world. Much has been going on with the campus site and its related sites over the past few months. Here are just some of the highlights:
Presidential Debate: www.umb.edu/debate. As you likely know, UMass Boston will be hosting the first of the 2000 Presidential Debates on October 3. As we near the big day, expect more interactive features here. Anyone in the campus community with a particular idea for this site is invited to contact the Web Department via webmaster@umb.edu.
News and Events: www.umb.edu/news_and_events. The Web Department revised the News and Events page during the summer. Here you can find all sorts of information about UMB (including the latest University Reporter online).
Beacon Leadership Project: www.umb.edu/umb/leadership. The "Beacon Leadership Project: Leaders at the Point" is a new program that has grown from the Student Leadership Development Program. It is designed to provide both undergraduate and graduate students with credit- or competency-based opportunities to develop and enhance their leadership skills and potential.
Purchasing: www.umb.edu/administration/purchasing/index.html. Purchasing's web site includes purchasing policies, a PDF contract, and a searchable database of those all-important object codes for filling out purchase orders.
Undergraduate Registrar: www.registrar.umb.edu. The Undergraduate Registrar overhauled its site a few months ago. There you can find links to the Academic Calendar and a search engine for courses currently offered
The International Student Services: www.iss.umb.edu. International Student Services has debuted its own Web site as a service to the more than 1,000 international students who attend UMass Boston.
Athletics: www.umb.edu/umb/athletics. The athletics department recently revamped its web site in time for the fall sports schedule. You can stay up to date on web site changes by visiting: www.umb.edu/site_news.html.
If you have a Web site and are not linked to the main university site, please see the Link Request form.
As always, you can reach the Web Department via webmaster@umb.edu.
