The Personnel and Benefits committee has been working for a year or so on a redesign of our departmental site. The current site, based on the old Plone interface, performs poorly in both form and function. This site, built on the ubiquitous WordPress platform and hosted on the CUNY Academic Commons, is better-looking (if we do say so ourselves), easier to maintain and build out, and much more flexible in terms of design.

The site is still very much under construction but has virtually everything copied over from the old site. We hope to launch it in the coming months and will be asking all full-time faculty to contribute (or update) bios to the site.

We welcome feedback on this unfinished, “beta” version of the site. Feel free to leave a blog comment below or email Jeff Allred. And special thanks to Caitlin Cacciatore, a recent graduate of the Graduate Center’s M.A. in Digital Humanities program, for her amazing design work.
