Delta State University’s Web Oversight Committee was created in an effort to represent the interests of the many units that rely on web-based communications.  The Web Oversight Committee guided the creation and implementation of the University’s Web strategy.

In the 2004-2005 academic year, the Committee was charged with recommending policies, establishing priorities and making changes to the University’s website.  The goal of the committee was to work with SunGard Collegis to implement content management techniques and to completely redesign the website.  The redesign was to include revised navigation, new design (look and feel), and refreshed content.  DeAnna Starn, formerly Director of University Relations, served as the initial Chair of the Committee.  She left the University in February of 2005.  Upon her recommendation, Julie Jackson, Assistant Director of Housing and Residence Life, assumed the chair position.

Once the website was redesigned, the charge to the Web Oversight Committee was:

• To develop, recommend, and monitor compliance with web and web portal policies;
• To advise web/portal support specialists and administrators regarding content, policy, design, and site architecture;
• To foster collaborative university-wide web development;
• To oversee the University’s primary web presence; and
• To coordinate all web sites that compose the Delta State University web presence.
