JCU Launches New Website This Spring WEBSITE from page 1
changed frequently. This space currently features a photo of Ponte Sisto and and text promoting a first-class study abroad experience in summer 2010. The site also now features many photos taken by JCU students. Other vital features of the website include a new navigational scheme, which features frontpage quick links. These are known as “breadcrumb” navigations because they allow site visitors to jump back to pages that were previously viewed or are related. Each page has a menu bar at the top with links to JCU’s directory, the My JCU login and JCU email. Every club at the school has its
own page. There are also maps, and hotel finders. A final important change to the new website is a web-friendly format that helps optimize search engine results. The new website would not have been possible without the assistance of student assistants Marynna Saatjian and Nate Jayne. l
JCU Welcomes Its Largest Student Body STUDENT BODY from page 1
“This way I get to meet all of the new students before classes even start.” In January, seven simultaneous orientations were held; four for visiting students and the rest for degreeseeking students, their families, and for ENLUs students. The orientation also included sports sign-up, front office support for lost luggage, neighborhood tours, housing workshops,
as well as health and safety sessions. According to Student Services Coordinator Pilar Murguia, “Orientation is a challenge because it is the first impression of what the students will expect. It is very important that we make them feel at home.” Students had the opportunity to learn what JCU has to offer as well as get a taste of living in Rome. Events such as meet-and-greats and walking tours helped achieve this goal. l
