Vanderbilt Redesign in Progress

The Office of University Web Communications has been working on a new look for the Vanderbilt homepage and top levels pages, set to launch the week of May 17. We're once again using a blog to share our designs with you, the Vanderbilt community. We hope you take some time to look at our designs, read our insights into why we’re doing what we're doing, and offer us your feedback. The Vanderbilt Web site is your Web site, and we value your opinion.
