Newly redesigned UA web site comes online Sunday

The familiar UA home page will be replaced Sunday by a new page featuring more links and a different layout.

The UA Web site has more weblinks on the main page, drop down boxes for prospective students and others, current weather conditions and campus news updates currently from UA News, the same office that publishes Lo Que Pasa.

This is the first major redesign of the UA Web site in nearly two years. The UA Web Council and the UA Web Team redesigned the site.

Visitors can fill out a survey to give feedback to the site designers and download Wildcat-themed screen savers and postcards.
