New
Website for UWG English On Its Way!
The weeks leading
up to the fall semester are an optimistic and ambitious time for students
and professors alike; students pledge to begin work as soon as assignments
are given, and professors vow to grade those assignments as soon as
they are submitted. So it is only fitting that the new UWG English
Department Website be unveiled during this time of inspiration.
The new site,
scheduled for unveiling during July 2004, will function as a clean,
welcoming public face for Internet users interested in learning more
about the English Department. Friendly graphics and an inviting interface
will facilitate use of the site, no matter if the visitor is student
or faculty, or potential student or faculty. In addition to being
a visually appealing site, it will also be a visually competitive
site, easily "holding its own" when compared to English
Department websites from other, similar universities.
Of course, this
site is more than just a pretty face; it's also a nimble, well-organized
brain. Gone will be the days that site visitors needed psychic abilities
or the determination of an ox to find certain types of information
in the site. The new site will be an organizational ally, eagerly
revealing information to the users without subjecting them to any
guessing games.
So, in mid-July,
when you see the new site floating happily on the web, you'll know
that it will soon be time to make those resolutions again. But maybe
this time you can draw inspiration from the new face of the UWG English
Department and hold on to those resolutions all the way till midterm!
