University Communications and Marketing web team coordinates the overall administration of Kent State’s website.
Web team serves as the starting point for departments and faculty members across campuses that would like to take advantage of Drupal, the university's content management system (CMS), to develop and maintain their own websites. Currently, templates which integrate with the institutional website’s redesign and support the university's visual identity program, are available at no charge. Access to Drupal is provided as a courtesy of the Division of Information Technology.
Web Team Responsibilities Include:
- Website brand standards
- Content maintenance on www.kent.edu including:
- Photo updates
