Update on Recent Website Open Session 

 

man with computerGlobal Marketing and Communications, in an effort to gather input from the greater Webster University community, conducted an open intake session on Feb. 27.

 

The purpose of the session was to gather insights from students, faculty and staff as plans go forward for the new www.webster.edu. About 50 people attended the session, with another 50 logging into the live stream from around the world. Questions came from as far as Geneva, Switzerland, and Albuquerque, N.M.  

A full video of the session can be found here. 

 

The website is the digital front door to the University and we want it to adequately reflect who we are and who we want to be - a worldwide institution that transforms students for global citizenship and individual excellence.

For those unable to attend the session in person or via the webcast, additional insights can be sent to Patrick Powers, director of digital marketing and communications.
