[Description] Innovative framework and strategic positioning: The new website has a modular framework affording us tactical flexibility to expand and incorporate futuristic internet-enabled technologies and web-applications in the areas of social networking and mobility. Currently we have incorporated Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and RSS feeds. Unified-voice platform: Alpine and RGC are on the same site. In the new model, faculty and staff (stakeholders) as content managers are empowered to manage content on their own and successfully communicate success stories of our University and System to our customers, community, prospective students, shareholders (governmental agencies, donors, alumni, etc.) and reporting agencies. Branding toolbox for consistency: We created and established a branding toolbox for the new website (http://www.sulross.edu/page/1183/branding-toolbox), so that all content managers could use consistent colors, logos, images, etc. Open source: The website is built using a free open source content management system (CMS), Drupal. Organizational inclusivity: The design of the website is such that content is easily accessible (by customers) and manageable (by stakeholders). 100 content managers across the 4 campuses were trained, all of whom contributed content and updated their respective webpages.
