Theatre Arts Case Study

What

In April 2008 Web Communications led a collaborative effort with Communications & Public Relations to meet with any academic department that wanted to meet to review the department website. One of those meetings occured with Theatre Arts. After a review of the site the need of the department was to make the landing page more interesting and to do a better job highlighting some of the opportunities that students have in the theatre at Gettysburg.
