The College of Veterinary Medicine uses an open source content management system for our website. Support ends this year for the version we use, so we were required to upgrade to Drupal 6 — an exciting system that has many features that our current version did not.
This change has brought an opportunity to revamp the appearance of the site to conform to OSU branding. The new site has been designed by web creators at OSU Web Communications and improvements will continue over the next few months. New areas of interest include news feeds, an upfront calendar, featured stories, and announcements. More content will be added as time allows.
Behind the scenes, Pat Hutson, Debrah Rarick, and Alan Calvert, a temporary employee in the office and expert in Drupal 6 programming, worked to update and transition content from our current site to the new and improved site. Dean Clarke provided direction for overall navigation and design.
On Wednesday, please go to the College website, oregonstate.edu/vetmed, and take a look. Let us know what you think!
