New Web address for
Lincoln College
[MARCH
25, 2003]
Lincoln
College has introduced a new Web page design and address which
provide the latest information about Lincoln College. The new site
can be found at
http://www.lincolncollege.edu.
|
Tony Schilling, director of admissions,
who has been working on the project for the last six months, says
the concept is to help improve efficiency and accessibility for
those looking for information about Lincoln College on the Web.
"Being a private two-year residential college, many people
immediately associate Lincoln College with a community college
institution, and we offer so much more. The college decided we
needed an updated look for our site and to offer a comprehensive
view of what Lincoln College is all about. The Web is an ideal way
to keep the information current."
|
The site, which is aimed at prospective
and current students, also gives alumni the chance to experience the
campus by using interactive maps and streaming video with virtual
tours.
Schilling added that the new site has
much to offer. "We tried to make the site user friendly and provide
… information without clutter. The site provides links to answer any
questions an individual might have and hopefully will attract the
viewer to visit campus."
HIP
Advertising in Springfield created the design.
