Scope of cornell.edu Project Development
- Ensure solid and secure foundation for cornell.edu and its unit-related functionality.
- Drive development of the pieces missing from today’s cornell.edu site. Ex. President’s site, a fuller academics site, a site for students, an admissions site that serves all admissions audiences, etc.
- Leverage cornell.edu’s tremendous web traffic, enabling more units to take advantage of this traffic without necessarily appearing on the front page.
- Improve the public’s sense of cornell.edu’s value by providing a consolidated access option to Cornell’s top web-enabled resources and web sites.
- Consider software solutions’ adaptability for use by other remaining Cornell sites. Ex. An events calendar that can be used to show unit-centered events as well as university-wide events.
- Identify and document roles of key university contributors to cornell.edu, such as Communications and Media Relations, Cornell Information Technology (CIT), and Cornell News Service. This will include content relationships that ensure proper content flow to the site.

This is great for Cornell. Thank you Tom Richardson for this development. It is well time we update the site and make ourselves competitive with the rest of the world’s URL’s.
