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.
