Notice Board takes on a new look

Written for The Bona Venture
   With a new face, an old friend takes on a new role. Say hello to the new and improved Notice Board. 
   A redesigned Notice Board launched Feb. 22 with the objective of grabbing student and faculty attention.
   "(For) the communications office, our goal is to help different entities on campus reach out to the campus community in a number of ways, and the Notice Board is one of those," Beth Eberth, director of university communications, said.
   When the Notice Board debuted on the Web, it was not measuring up to the technological standards of the day or meeting the needs of students and staff of the university. This forced the university to make a change, Eberth said. 
   "Being able to access the Notice Board easier was the driving force behind that," Eberth said. "We also recognized that it could use a little updated look, and by making it a little more visually appealing, we also hope that that will keep people's attention and make it easier to read."
