TRSI Launches New Web Site for Kellogg School Graduate
Programs
Kellogg School of Science and Technology has launched a new
web site-at http://www.scripps.edu/phd/i_flashhome.html
offering a contemporary look, easy navigation, and up-to-date
information about TSRI's graduate programs.
"We want the site to reflect the extraordinary level of quality
of the graduate programs and to be highly competitive with
the sites of our peer institutions in attracting the very
best students," says Robin Clark, TSRI's director of web-based
communications. "It's the entry way to a positive environment
for prospective and current enrollees."
The new site features a welcome from the president, the
dean, and the associate deans, as well as descriptions of
faculty research, pictures of the campus, and links to related
information, including news, lectures, and student resources.
Keith McKeown, vice president of communications and public
relations, notes that the update is part of a larger effort
to strengthen TSRI's identity by increasing access to useful
information about all of the institute's many programs and
activities.
