Just launched today the new CommunityEngagement@Wayne (opens new window) Web site. The new site is not only a visual refresh but also a navigation and change in focus. Before the site was mainly about just making the public aware of the programs that our students are working with the community. Now it is focusing on stories of the students in the community and driving users to get involved.

The design decisions were to bring the site in line with the current Honors College Web site (opens new window) which oversees CommunityEngagement@Wayne. We de-emphasized the 'partner logos' and opted for a featured student area which allows Honors to show off students work. We also gave the site an events calendar and recent highlights, something they did not have before but will become crucial to getting the word out about upcoming events students can be apart of.

Overall the response from the site has been positive from students and faculty. The overall tone was something they can be proud of to send students interested in service to find more information and get involved.
