In early June, after a long 9-month process, Dr. Lanier, Assistant
Professor of Technical Communication, and his team of Technical
Communication students launched the new and completely redesigned website
for New Mexico Tech. The site uses the Joomla Content Management System as
the engine that drives it, and supports over 30 distributed authors around
the university.
“We wanted a dynamic, modern and interactive design,” said Lanier, “but we
also wanted a system that would direct tedious updates and such away from
a webmaster. Those types of tasks waste time and lead to wasted money.”
The new system allows each administrative office to update their own
pages, which allows a web team to focus on marketing initiatives through
the site.
“We are using the site to market specific research initiatives, recruiting
agendas, and information dissemination. According to the analytics we’ve
seen so far, the website is exceeding our expectations.”

If you are related to the Technical Communication (TC) field and you haven’t met Greg then you should take the time and do so before he moves on.
