At the February Quarterly meeting, Janet Scannell and Joe Hargis announced that the college would be migrating from Reason to another web platform, and that the two platforms under consideration were Drupal and WordPress.
Over the past several months Web Services interviewed colleagues at several liberal arts colleges, conducted research with vendors, solicited RFP proposals, and facilitated several user experience sessions with faculty and staff. We evaluated the strengths and challenges of both platforms and put together a proposal for a more modern way of delivering web services to our campus.
We’re happy to announce that our proposal to go with WordPress has been approved by the Technology Planning and Priorities Committee (TPPC) and Tuesday Group. The name of this project is “Web2020.”
