We’re lifting the shroud on UL Lafayette’s website redesign! After much anticipation, we’re in the thick of planning for the new website.
We want to share what we heard throughout our research and also show you what we’re doing to address that feedback.
Thanks to web ambassador Cheryl in the Office of Campus Diversity for suggesting this topic!
We're so excited to see that our web ambassadors have really embraced the new calendar. Having an active calendar is an important tool for student recruitment and student involvement, and you all are doing an excellent job keeping it full!
This website redesign is a massive project — and we need our web ambassadors' help. Here's how we're planning on tackling it all.
We are happy to announce several news features we are going to offer to our Ambassadors: Office hours and Microsoft Teams!
After months of preparation, the new calendar is finally here!
The new calendar, which is a comprehensive view of everything happening on campus, is now available for the world to see at calendar.louisiana.edu.
This summer, we surveyed our web ambassadors to see if they would take advantage of web team office hours if we offered them.
The overwhelming response was YES! Most of you said you would take advantage of office hours and that’d you like to have it offered every other week.
During office hours, we would like to be available to help with content (Elizabeth Rose-Arcuri), technical support (Collin Wynne), and social media (Amy Windsor). We want to make ourselves available to you.
To illustrate the power of a social media campaign surrounding a national awareness week, let’s look at the Department of Nursing’s 2019 #NationalNursesWeek campaign. 
There are several ways to approach scheduling content that any social media admin can capitalize on. Some are easy, requiring little time and effort to schedule a few reminders, while others are more involved.
Creating the eye for great photos takes time, study, practice, failures – you get the picture. But many photos can be improved by a few simple points.
Many departments and offices at UL Lafayette are using social media to reach students and alumni in ways that they don't traditionally use their websites. When was the last time you posted a photo gallery to your site? Or a news story that was only 240 characters long? What I would like to ask you is: Why not?
