Welcome to CSUB Web Communications
Web Communications is a part of the Office of Public Affairs and Communications. Our mission is to use the web, social media and other technologies to engage all of our constituents - students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, donors and community members - through dynamic content and predictable, consistent design. CSUB.edu is often the first (and sometimes only) contact someone has with the university; thus, our goal is to ensure the interaction is positive and constituents are able to find the information they are looking for.
Web Communications directly maintains the following areas of CSUB.edu:
- Home page
- Gateway pages
- Current Students
- Future Students & Parents
- Faculty / Staff
- Alumni
- Community and Visitors
- Top-level pages
- Discover CSUB
- Academics
- Admissions & Aid
- Student Life
- News & Information
- Top links, main navigation and footer links
Web Communications also assist web liaisons, which create and maintain content for school and departments websites. If you're interested in becoming a web liaison for your group, or you have general suggestions or comments about the website, please contact us using the contact info to the right.
Drupal - the upcoming CMS for CSUB
Web Communications will be moving to Drupal to manage web content. Who is using Drupal?
Template changes here and there
As you may have noticed recently, there have been several small design tweaks throughout the website. All of the changes have been made for a specific purpose and were based on constituent feedback and modern web best practices. So, let's talk about a few of them.
Quick refresher on training types
I've posted the training dates and times for the foreseeable future on the right-hand side of csub.edu/web. As I was putting all of this together, I thought it might be wise to post a quick reminder about the three types of training available.
We're off and running
As I promised back in May, this is the first post in the new CSUB Web Communications blog. I would have had this up and running sooner, but coming up with a suitable title took longer than I thought! (joke)
The purpose of this blog has evolved since I originally announced it. Initially, I had intended for this blog to simply be an extension of the training resources available and include topics such as WCMS tips and web best practices.
