As the semester is coming to a close, we thought we would share an update on all of the great things that have been happening at web.unc.edu! Enjoy the latest newsletter from the web.unc.edu team.
News & Documentation
Updated Servers
Due to the growing popularity with web.unc.edu, we have updated our servers to help maintain high performance during peak user times, and have several other upgrades planned for this summer. Although the update adds stability and performance, there are no major changes to the user-side and will not effect the way users work in through their dashboard. Thanks to everyone for their patience in our transition.
Spotlight: New Sites
The development of web.unc.edu wouldn’t be possible without the participation of UNC programs, classes, professors, departments, and individuals (aka you all!). The following are examples of some recent sites created on here. Check them out and see if there is anything you can take away and add to your own site!
Program Site Example: http://summer.unc.edu
Miscellaneous Example: http://evecarsonscholarship.unc.edu/
