Who are the main site's target audiences?

The main site is both the University's main public Web presence, as well as a key communications tool for the campus community. In this sense, it is both a public Internet site as well as an intranet. The University hopes that all members of the campus community will check the site frequently for news and join us at public events. Tens of thousands of external users visit the site every day. Key audiences include undergraduate and graduate school applicants, students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, news media, researchers, job applicants and donors.
