Department Group Page Resources

Tips, resources and guides on building your department page on Jacket Connect.

Build Your Website

Your group's website can be a valuable resource for current, prospective and incoming students. With it, you can provide essential information, including:

  • Links to student organizations within your department/major
  • Links to outside resources that help highlight your department, including news articles, alumni connections and current student successes.
  • Files that can help prepare incoming students, including suggested reading, class syllabi and text books used for classes.
  • Videos that showcase your department, including short interviews with faculty, alumni and current students. We can also post videos that exhibit a "day in the life" of a student.
  • Any events or special occasions that your department hosts for students.
  • Candid photos of students in the classroom, talking with faculty or studying in your building.
  • Career services options and job/internship opportunities.
  • Grant, scholarship and fundraising opportunities.
