The website redesign project team is still on schedule to launch Phase 1 on Tuesday, June 11. This will feature 2,200+ university-wide pages (e.g., homepage, About, Locations, Our History), enrollment-focused pages (e.g., Student Life, Visit, Admissions), and about 80 academic program pages.

After June 11, Phase 2 of the project will entail a staggered rollout of all remaining webpages, from colleges and academic departments to centers, institutes and administrative units. This phase will run for several months.

How to submit edits immediately following June 11
Following the June 11 launch of Phase 1 until we are able to train all content editors on the new content management system (CMS), employees should submit requests for web edits in the following manner. There will be two kinds of edit requests — urgent and normal — managed through different processes.   

Thank you for your patience
As with any launch of a new website design and a new CMS, we will undoubtedly experience issues that need to be addressed in the days after the launch. As we identify these, we will work as efficiently as possible to fix them. Thank you in advance for your patience in the days following the Phase 1 launch.

For more information on these and other project elements, please visit the Website Redesign Project webpage and review the June 2024 and Onward section. Marketing and Communication will continue to provide project updates in the coming weeks.

Please contact webcomm@radford.edu if you have any questions.
