Go Mobile programme
Project manager Jane was elated to see the new Careers and Careers Occupations websites go live – marking the end of a six-month project.
It was a massive achievement by our team (it did involve most of us) and Careers, which has significantly improved a vital University service online.
Lisa wrote up specific handover notes to help Careers manage their busy events schedule in T4.
Both Lisa and Andrew were on hand for go live, giving Jane smelling salts/support/sugar when needed.
Lisa also set about auditing the Medical Sciences site before taking a well-earned holiday.
Catherine, Emily and Emma C met with NUMED colleagues to talk through proposed updates to their site.
Emma C is working with Marketing and Student Recruitment on a new process for making student profiles re-usable across different sites and in different contexts.
The Alumni, Giving and 1834 Fund websites have merged to become a brand new site for Alumni and Supporters.
Andrew audited sites for Mechanical & Systems Engineering, Pre-Arrival, the Northern Institute for Cancer Research and Civil Engineering & Geosciences.
