Our autumn quarter Department Web Framework users meeting will be on Tuesday, December 1, from 1-2:00pm in Communications Building 126.

As a reminder for those that are new to the asweb-users list, the Department Web Framework Users Group consists of faculty, staff, and students who manage content on department websites supported by the Arts & Sciences web team.  We hold these meetings quarterly to share ideas and best practices, encourage communication between departments, and gather feedback about our website service.
