Our next Department Web Framework Users meeting will be:
Wednesday, November 12, from 10-11am
CMU 202 (Simpson Center seminar room)

Anyone who plays a role in editing department websites is invited to attend. Our tentative agenda is:

Choosing Images for Your Front Page: What kind of images make a strong, positive impact? What type of images should you avoid? How can you get more photos? We’ll share some strategies for finding and selecting great photos to maximize the power of your front page.

Department Web Framework editors are invited to the quarterly Social Sciences and Humanities Marketing Roundtable. Within the next few weeks the UW is rolling out a new brand, and we will be dedicating our entire meeting to covering how that impacts you and what to expect. Even if you’ve been a part of some of the brand meetings over the summer, we encourage you to attend. We're hoping we will be able to dive deeper into the messaging and have an in-depth Q&A session with our representative from central marketing.

Based on feedback after our combined meeting with the Humanities & Social Sciences Marketing Roundtable, we have decided to separate the meetings this quarter.  Attendance was high and there is clearly a lot of interest in marketing and communications topics.  You are welcome to attend whichever meetings have agenda items that apply to you, or send other representatives who would benefit from the information.

The UW Dance Program is the 11th unit to join our Department Web Framework.  Visit their beautiful new site at http://dance.washington.edu
