Why a Custom Portal is Important
 Allows a customized view for individual users.
 Helps current students navigate campus
services.
 Easier and customized navigation for faculty
and alumni.
 Keeps constituents informed about relevant
news and information.

Portal Justification

connecting portals and therefore connecting

Outlets for Feedback
 Feedback would be retrieved from the
departments via the committee members.
 Surveys that have constituents log on and
then navigate certain pre-assigned tasks.
 A pilot test for students, alumni, and
faculty/staff.
 Focus groups discussing the ease of use and
navigation.
Technology Based Systems
 Each student will be assigned a student ID number
when they are accepted into EU.
 They will retain this password and sign-in even as an
alumni.
 When they sign-in they will receive news updates
based on major, organization membership, and
classification. They will also have an opportunity to
sign-up as alumni to receive news on organizations
they are interested in. i.e. athletics, membership
(Greek Life), and relevant academic news based on
field of study.
Organizing the Portal Pages
 Users would get to different portals through
clicking on pictures that border the main
screen. These pictures would consist of
different students, alumni, and faculty/staff.
 For example if someone was interested in
getting to career services they would click on
either a current student or an alumni.
 If they are a recently accepted student and
are interested in living in the residence hall
they would click on either a current student or
a recently accepted student.
