Web Strategy Team

What We Do

The Web Strategy Team supplies the tools, the standards and the glue for web content created by departments and individuals across campus. The team provides services, information and facilities to support college departments; imagination and new technologies to help them meet their program goals; standards and designs to bring quality and coherence to the overall college web presence; a prod to keep it all moving forward; and the coordination and leadership to keep it all moving forward together.

How We Can Help

• Working with departments to plan effective department sites and web-based services
• Creating new web pages or sites within Wheaton's site
• Training web page contributors to use our web editor and upload images
• Adding new content contributors and web editor permissions
• General troubleshooting

Profile

This web team thing is Dave's fault. Ever since he saw Mosaic, sometime in the last millennium, he's been trying to help the college figure out all the ways it should use the Web. Over the years he served Wheaton as Director of Administrative Information Services and Director of Information Technologies & Services. Along the way he has worked with many others to replace all of our administrative systems, network the campus, build a phone system and create a web site. As Director of Institutional Research he created the college's fact book, helped create the faculty salary plan and built many of the college's planning models. Now, many committees, teams and meetings later, he's the director of the Web Strategy Team. The president and our compatriots in Communications and LIS are squarely behind this initiative, and many people around campus have helped shape the college's web plans, but you shouldn't blame them. Whether you want to join up, you have a suggestion or you just want someone to complain to, email Dave. In former lives Dave studied mathematics, sold adding machines, played the carillon, built musical instruments and ran a small library. In spite of all indications that it's hopeless, he persists in attempting to play the tuba. (And greatly appreciates the forbearance of his wife and their pussycat.) And, ever since he learned that it was a crime to predict the future without a license, he has wanted to become a licensed fortuneteller in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
