1. CVC is working with the Executive Vice Chancellor on a potential project to develop and host web biographies on all UCR faculty.



2. CVC continues to take a leadership role in the development of campus academic and administrative websites. Please visit the following sites for examples of recent success stories.



• ORAL HISTORY-Chancellor's Office (In progress). This site depicts some of UCR's founding fathers. It will be one of the first UCR sites to contain streaming audio/video. The transcripts, audio, and video will be on file in the library for reference.



• UCR Faculty and Faculty New Hires - EVC Office (Sample layout only). This site will give easy/quick access to information about ALL UCR faculty directly from the UCR main page. It will contain brief information about each faculty and provide a link to their personal home page. There will be the ability to search by Alphabetical, College, and Department. The database will include 'enhanced' pages for UCR faculty new hires for 1 year. The site will be developed so approved users (department administrative staff) can make changes easily.



• War and Society (In progress, approved look, waiting on final content). This site gives information about the Annual meeting of the Recipients of the Medal of Honor (the highest military decoration granted by the United States). The City of Riverside is hosting the event this year and UCR is involved in activities based around this event.



• Biochemistry Department (In progress). This site is a complete re-design for the Graduate and Undergraduate programs. This project includes the design of a large recruitment poster (part of the graphics design is on the front page) in addition to a brochure and website. Environmental Sciences & Engineering and Molecular & Cellular Biology and VitaminD Workshop also had recruitment packages including a poster, brochure and website.



• Cultural Events This site contains information about the upcoming 1999-2000 season. Online ticket purchases are being discussed.



• Special Student Services This site provides information on services for Students with Disabilities, Veteran's Education benefits and ROTC.
