SCICU recently launched its totally redesigned web site. This new site not only takes advantage of the latest in web technology and graphics, but also brings a new focus to the educational opportunities available at our member colleges and universities. While here you will see:
- A front page slide show featuring each of our 20 members and individual school profiles that link directly to the independent college or university selected (see Colleges section)
- A prominent section on the Home page for Prospective Students and their parents that promotes the value of a liberal arts education at one of South Carolina’s independent colleges and universities and provides extensive financial assistance information and a quick link to the current SCICU College Guide and other helpful web sites
- A Newsroom that features news releases from SCICU and includes a new section that allows member colleges to post news releases of general interest
- A calendar of events and meetings to include on-line registration and payment for events such as the Guidance Counselor Campus Tour
- An expanded Advocacy section now allows visitors to track Bills of Interest in addition to locating members of the General Assembly
- Additional facts and figures added to the About SCICU section
- A prominent Make A Gift button on the Home page that allows friends and supporters of independent higher education to donate to SCICU on-line using a credit card
- A Friends and Partners section (coming early next year) that will feature a marketplace for companies and individuals who provide goods and services to SCICU and its members
Unlike the old site, SCICU staff can alter about 90% of the content directly, so we will be able keep the site fresh and updated. Please feel free to offer your suggestions on what we can do to make the new site more responsive and attractive to our many visitors.
