56. WEB CHANGES 3.26 – GUESS THIS ONE IS MINE (JOAN)

From the GVU home page
click on facilities
click on CoC Building (CCB), the Centennial Research Building (CRB), and the Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT) link
click on Map Grid for each location
Message appears: test.gtalumni.org If you're looking at this page, you probably are in the wrong place.


57. WEB CHANGES 3.26 – THIS ONE TOO (JOAN)

Currently there are no map directions to the GVU Center other than the ones on RRD. A link to these new directions should be located somewhere on our main page perhaps under a category that says, :How to find us".


69. WEB UPDATE: – THIS ONE ALSO (JOAN)

The Aware Home needs to be added to the the Facilities sections with a picture & directions


52. INTERNSHIP WEB PAGE 3.21
Is it possible to list the internships in alpha order?


54. INTERNSHIP WEB PAGE 3.21
The jobs listed need to be separated into two categories: Internships and full-time employment


58. WEB CHANGES 3.26

On the home page, the category of "people" is listed twice and it's confusing as the first people references people in terms of research and the second people references who is who at the GVU, in addition, when one clicks on the first "people" i.e., research, the category "people" appears yet a third time–changes suggested–not sure but needs to be addressed.
