Revamped Prospective Students Page

We have made some significant improvements to the prospective students page of NCCU.edu. The old page gave some general facts about the university, but did not lead visitors on any particular path. The new page directs visitors toward many courses of action, and it features a much more attractive interface.

Help!

Dear NCCU Web Liasons and Advocates:

This is one of those times where we depend on you to help us with some vital work that we simply can't do. You told us about a need, so we've fulfilled it. Now, we need you to spread the word.

Specifically, we've enhanced NCCU Online Campus Directory [or "OCD", for short] to accommodate your photos, biographies and resumes/vitas. Come see it (and much more) at our regularly scheduled bi-weekly demo, this Tuesday. Here is screenshot mock-up. You like, yes?

So, what can *you* do to help? Only you can help NCCU succeed where even the very best Web-based promotion fails: we need your Word Of Mouth. Grab some Faculty members and colleagues, and *show* them our new and improved OCD. Let them see *your* OCD profile (which includes your photo, bio, and PDF resume). It's fun to watch someone's facial expression when you've shown them something that prompts lights mental light bulb or, "Oh, yeaaaaaah.... Hmmmm."

It all starts with your example. Post your Photo, Resume/Vita, and Bio Info *today*. How? It's very easy; it *has* to be. See for yourself at http://www.nccu.edu/knowledgebase/faq.cfm?id=55


Yours,

-dB-

Your NCCU Profile

We are planning to beef up your NCCU profile with pictures, bios, vita, and other interesting information. The first step - porting the profile application into our development environment - was completed today. You will notice that the URL of the profile update page has changed:

https://www.nccu.edu/intranet/appsadmin/directory/update.cfm

Stay tuned for for updates to this application.

Holla @ Each Other

This just added to my.nccu.edu (Now, also known as MyEOL): Eagle Status - It's a shout box; it's an instant message board! It slices; it dices!!

Actually, it's a quick and easy way for you and your co-workers to keep track of each other. Enter your status (140 characters or less) in the "What are you doing now" box, click "Post", and pla-DOW! You've instantly updated everyone as to where you are and what you're doing.

Holla @ Us...

The new feedback app is up... With a little coding acumen, the Kampyle app we've chosen is fairly easy to install and customize... From the end-user side - it's a quick, painless, and if need be, anonymous way for user to convey their thoughts and suggestions... To "holla", as it were.

We were shocked by the sheer volume of feedback that poured in, immediately after launching it "live". And Darin (whose post idea I just boosted) comments that the response is "overwhelmingly positive".


Nice...
