It鈥檚 launch week! We at University Marketing and Communications have been working hard on a new Northpark.edu for several months, and we wanted to share with you a few features we think you鈥檒l love.
1. Mobile-Responsive Design.
First and foremost: the new website works on your phone. No more squinting, flipping your phone horizontal, and trying to zoom in. The site responds beautifully to different devices, so you can easily navigate to all the resources you need鈥攐n the fly.
2. Reimagined My North Park.
When we kicked off this project, we held meetings to hear from faculty, staff, and students. We asked questions like, 鈥淲hat was most frustrating on the website? What were you looking for in the new site?鈥�
We heard you loud and clear: Navigating to your email, WebAdvisor, Moodle, and other vital resources was difficult. My North Park was a major source of frustration.
Introducing . . . ! We spent a lot of time prioritizing, reorganizing, and decluttering. Then we represented it in a visual, clean way.
You can now select your profile as Student, Faculty, or Staff Member, and you鈥檒l be served the resources that are most useful to you. Your browser should even remember who you are.
We hope this makes your busy NPU life just a little bit easier.
3. Awesome. Content.
While our on-campus constituents were a major priority while redesigning the website, our number-one goal was to help prospective students get to know North Park more easily鈥攁nd consider it as a choice for their college education.
To that end, we put together some pretty cool new content to roll out with the new site, which you can enjoy too:
- A that you can view on any device, or with VR glasses or .
- A you won鈥檛 want to miss.
- An interactive map of campus, where you can click in and see 360 views of various buildings
4. Find Your Faculty.
We鈥檝e put together a streamlined , where you can get to know (and easily reach) North Park鈥檚 accomplished professors and professionals.
5. #NPUBrandNew.
Alongside the website project, we鈥檝e also been rebranding the University. You鈥檝e probably seen our . This website is our first major, public rollout of the new brand. We hope you enjoy the visual identity and feel it鈥檚 a great representation of NPU.
