I use campaign monitor and each department or area is set us as a client. They pay for sending the emails themselves using their department credit cards. They send emails using templates that I design based on their needs.
It is somewhat time con...
We are considering contracting with an e-mail marketing service that provides an "agency" or "org" edition. We'd set up our departments as clients, provide templates, and let them handle it from there. But right now, we're unsure of how we'd cover...
We use "Zenphoto", it's a php application that runs on your server, and it's almost as easy as Flickr. It's a temporary measure, as our library is building a custom image repository system for the university.
I like Flickr for public sharing, but...
We are planning to hire a student intern in this position in the fall. Currently, our alumni department has a student intern doing this.
First: this is not another thread about “what newsletter service do you recommend”.
Rather, my question is, to what extent does your central Communications / PR office support email newsletters by departments and other campus units? Some of whom ...
Also interesting to me is that the homepage design was copied by our own bookstore, without our (Public Affairs Office) knowledge or input:
http://bookstore.brown.edu/
We're not sure if they did it because they thought it was a good solution for...
Good writeup there, as well.
For what it's worth, we presented the original Pentagram design for Brown University at An Event Apart New York, in July 2006, for an open critique. Several well-known web designers, whose names you would recognize, p...
They should have given you a link, as well. Yours is the best writeup of the matter (as you're the only one who understood to look at the underlying code).

Employment Opportunities is one of the 12 main navigation links in the header of our Web site template. Therefore, it appears not only on the home page, but on almost every page of our site.

Off topic, but the hide/show social media icon bar on your site is very well done.
Global footer that says "We're Hiring". It is one of our top visited pages.
Thanks for the feedback - the backstory here is that our HR office has requested to be on the homepage, but the college's Web Advisory committee has been refusing the request. I thought a link in the global footer would be a nice solution, so I'm ...
"Employment at SJC" is a link in our footer that is on every page, including the homepage. We also have a prominent link in the navigation one level down under our "About Us" section.
It's one of our top hits also.
Share your experiences using OmniUpdate CMS
We have an Employment link in the footer of every page, including our home page.
OmniUpdate’s CMS business is booming and we are looking for several Web Services Technicians. Help us grow our team.
Yes, we list it on the homepage. Our HR person requested this as part of our redesign about a year ago and I thought it made sense.
We have a "Jobs" link in our global footer.
We do have a link at the bottom of the home page in the footer. We have gone one step further however, because the footer is a common include used across everyone of our pages that is in our new template. We have about 75% of our pages using it. I...
hello uwebd!
we're hiring a developer here @ Rensselaer's Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center in Troy, NY. www.empac.rpi.edu. We started this search last year but then went into a hiring freeze, and now have a window where we're quickly tr...
I can tell you how we do it-
I work in marketing on the web team. We control the front page. I'm the content person, so I make a lot of those judgment calls.
For our specific design (www.oc.edu), there are a few guiding principles.
For the top ...

What is the editorial process for your university homepage? Specifically, I'm curious about:
- what type of content gets featured (news, events, blogs, social media, contests, etc.)
- number of people making decisions about what content gets feat...
It is a link on our homepage and is one of our top hits as well.
We don't, but it is one of the first menu items from the top drop down menu. I would say it is worth it, especially if you are a large school. We're a small school (for example at this time we have 5 only openings on campus), but that page is one ...
