MUITSO.ORG: New and Revamped!


The MUITSO website underwent some major work in the beginning of this fall semester and it was recently launched on October 13, 2008 at www.muitso.org with many cool new features. While the old website had a sufficient amount of information about the organization, we felt that we needed to make some changes to increase the level of professionalism as well as the site's visibility to search engines.

Here is an overview of what we did:

Website hosting - We are no longer hosted at fateback. com. Our new URL is simply www.muitso.org. The URL is now shorter and is easy to remember! Also, due to the recent change in hosting to a web server, the site is able to be indexed by search engines. If you don't have a good long term memory, just do a Google search of "muitso" and you'll see our website in the #1 spot.

New layout design - We wanted to have an organized and professional layout. Without going crazy with the colors, we decided to go along with Marquette's navy and gold theme. Instead of using the usual boring plain text links, we used tabs to navigate from page to page.

More articles - A selection of articles were taken from ITSO...GOOD newsletter archives and were placed in the home page and also in the Article tab. Placing some of the major articles on the main page will get visitors to recognize more of what ITSO does and what it offers to its members.

Calendar of Events - In the News & Events tab, we have added a calendar. Events such as campus interviews, MUITSO activities, and company presentations are added ahead of time. Take advantage of this feature and add any event to your calendar that may be relevant to you. Point is, be organized and plan ahead!

Job Board - In addition to receiving an email from Dr. Kaiser about a new open position, IT students can now search for a job at the Job Board. We have provided some information regarding the Job Board to recruiters and alumni so they can keep the IT students up to date with the latest job openings at their company. The Job Board will be another resource for them to attract our students. There are currently 23 full-time and internship IT positions listed. Go check them out!

Pictures gallery - Who doesn't love pictures? From now on, we will be taking pictures at all MUITSO events and will be putting them on the website. We want to share the experiences with those who may not have made it to our events. It gives the visitors a better sense of how the event went by looking at the pictures.

Contact form - Should you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about anything relating to MUITSO, please feel free to send us a message. We want to make things easier, so we created a contact form just for you.

MUITSO Twitter - If you do not have a Twitter account, sign up for one soon. MUITSO set-up an account to keep in touch with Marquette alumni and other professionals. If you are not familiar with Twitter, it basically acts like a "Status Update" to keep everyone around you posted on what you are doing. Check it out at Twitter.com! Hopefully, the new website will give everyone a better look at what is going on within MUITSO. This has been phase I of the redevelopment process, so watch out for more changes in the future. Take a look at the new MUITSO.org and let us know what you think!
