About this Site


Fordham University's web site is a work in progress. This latest iteration began in the Spring of '04 and continues with a redesign which we hope has improved the navigation and ease of use as well as the appearance. Fordham's web presence uses a combination of various technologies suited to the owners of each site, some of which are in the University's content management system (CMS), and others which use industry standard authoring programs. In the coming months we will be adding and tweaking new features in almost every area of our site and welcome the comments of our users. Our site has been optimized to work with the latest version of Internet Explorer with every attempt made to be compatible with all the industry standard browsers.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Periodically, new photographs will be added to the rotation on the Fordham homepage. Members of the University community are encouraged to submit photographs as candidates for inclusion in this rotation. Please send your photos to the office of Online Academic Services at oas@fordham.edu.


Be sure the following information is clearly indicated:

  • Photographer's full name
  • Photographer's email address and phone number
  • Photographer's affiliation with Fordham
  • Brief description of each image
  • Identities of people prominently featured in image
  • If necessary, our office will contact you to request additional information about your photograph
  • Permission to use your photograph on our site

Photographs will be evaluated on quality, appropriateness of subject matter, and appropriateness of format for the University's web design. Photographs that appear on www.fordham.edu may be cropped or otherwise manipulated to fit our style. Submission of your photograph will be considered a release to use your image as best suits our format.

If we choose your picture we will post credits here in the "about this site" page.

If you have any questions about the submission process, contact oas@fordham.edu.

LOOK AND FEEL

Fordham University's web site has undergone a number of design changes over the past several years. Most recently, in the Spring of 2004 a committee was assembled to review the overall look and navigation of the whole site. The committee was made up of the following represenatives of the University at large:

John Buckley (Assistant VP for Undergrad Admissions)
Glen Butterworth (Student)
Ben Crooker (Faculty - Chair of Physics Department)
Joseph Di Bari (Athletics)
Maryann Kowaleski (History Faculty)
Nick Lombardi, S.J. (Director of Online Academic Services)
Bob Moniot (Faculty - Physics, Computer Science)
Christopher Rodgers (Dean of Students at Lincoln Center)
Nina Tassi (Associate VP of Academic Affairs)
Melanie Teagle (Alumni Relations)

Working with the creative department of Liquid Matrix Corporation, the present design was approved and put in place. There followed a redesign of each of the sites of Fordham University's eleven schools, ten of which have been approved and have "gone live."

CONTACTS

In the late Spring of 2005, Fordham's President, Rev. Joseph McShane, S.J. appointed a University Web Policy committee with the charge to formulate a standard University-wide set of guidelines for Fordham's Web presence. The Fordham University Web Policy was approved in June of 2005 and now serves as the standard for all University web pages. All University web sites are now in process of being updated to conform to this policy. Comments on the University Web Policy may be sent to webpolicy@fordham.edu.
