Updates to Eastern Michigan University’s website—

The Integrated Content team within the Eastern Michigan University Division of Communications gave EMU’s website, emich.edu, a makeover last week.

Besides a sleeker new look, the web enhancements include:

- Quick Links, a condensed drop down menu that includes Calendars, Maps & Directions,
Parents, Faculty & Staff, Contacts, EagleMail and my.emich

- A single search box that eliminates the need for users to limit their search results

- A degrees and programs search that allows users to explore both the undergraduate and graduate, and that catalogues by keyword or by college, department and degree type

- Enlarged social media icons at the bottom of the page along with icons that link to
BlogEMU.com and the official EMU mobile app

- A “make a gift” button, which will take users to the EMU Foundation homepage
