The web site redesign working group would like to thank everyone who took our academic department site customization survey. 36 people completed the survey and the full results can be found below. These results will help us to prioritize our efforts as we build department templates we hope are attractive, customizable and easy to use.
Also much appreciated is the feedback many respondents provided to our open-ended question. There were some important insights, and the responses help us understand your needs better. The redesign process benefits from hearing as many voices as possible. To that end, a feedback form is always available on this web site.
