Drupal Setups
Our campus is looking at Drupal as our new CMS. Using Drupal for a singular site seems straight forward. What I would like to know is how other campus are managing and setting up Drupal in order to govern all the sub/micro sites that come along with a College/University website. Is everyone using Drupal Multisite? Something else? Organic groups? Fill me in, I need some solid advice.
Thanks! :)

I highly recommend Drupal. We are just a small community college, but I'm constantly impressed with how robust Drupal can be. Organic Groups and ThemeKey are how we control different departments/subsections.

Some higher ed Drupal modules to look at:
Organic Groups: https://drupal.org/project/og
Monster Menus: https://drupal.org/project/monster_menus (Amherst College)
OpenEDU: https://drupal.org/project/openedu
Middlebury and Amherst both seem to use Monster Menus.
Might be worthwhile reaching out to their IT/web people directly to find out more.http://mediawiki.middlebury.edu/wiki/LIS/Monster_Menus

It varies, depending on your needs. I have a large number of sites in a multisite setup, but I also have sites in their own installations. Much of this depends on factors like who does the development and maintenance. Do you have specific questions?

Michelle L. Monti posted a discussionQuestioning the Value of College Holiday Videos
I'm wondering what people think is the value of doing a holiday video for a college/university. What is the goal? Do schools make them simply because others are doing it? Who is the target audience - is it to maintain engagement with alums or to attract prospectives and their families? When do schools start planning them - (in September/October?) What do people see as a return on this investment of so much time?I'm asking because I have worked at one school where we made a holiday video…See More
