7/9/2019 Meeting

Notes

Alumni Profiles

We agreed that the alumni profiles on the Alumni page under the Who We Are area should be listed in alphabetical order and divided into sections on the page by degree program to help better organize the profiles. Dan has adjusted the profiles to display this way.

MD Profiles (Updated 7/16)

Cassie, Dan, and Shawn met on July 16th to discuss the order that the MD profiles under the Who We Are area are displayed. We agreed that the best solution might be to divide the profiles into sections based on each student's year in the program (MS1, MS2, etc.). Dan and Shawn are looking into how to accomplish this solution.

Listing Alumni and Some Graduates

In the HVI meeting that Cassie and Dan attended on May 7th, the Section of Cardiology group expressed a need to list alumni on their website, each with a very brief bio, to aid in resident recruitment. Cassie suggested that we should find a solution for listing alumni consistently throughout the website. Tara and Aishina agreed that we can use the "Basic Directory Listing" page type for listing alumni in department and program sections, and as long as the school has an abundance of website editors, we will need to set aside time at least once a year to search through the website for listed alumni to ensure that this consistent structure is being used. This is similar to how residents are listed throughout departments and programs.

Similarly, the Rural Track Program group has expressed a need to list Rural Health graduates and where they will become residents, and we agreed that the "Basic Directory Listing" page type can be reused for this as well.

Dan will add a new page type to Umbraco for listing resident matches and alumni in department sections.

Immunology and Medical Microbiology

Aishina was working with Evie and Lindsay to add program information to the IMMB subsite.

Aishina inquired about changing the items in the top navigation of this section to reflect the pages within this section rather than the pages within the main School of Medicine website. They're currently have "Students" and "Contact Us" pages, and they're working on an "About Us" page and a potential "Research" page.

Undergraduate and Professional Programs Campaign Page

Cassie provided the drafted content for the Undergraduate and Professional Programs Campaign Page, and mentioned that she has access to the Buzzfeed Quiz that Dan Walsh drafted so that we can embed it into the page once it is completed.

Welcome Week 2019

We agreed to reuse the Welcome Week page from 2018 with an updated feature image.

MD Orientation 2019

MD orientation events are held on July 31, 2019. We agreed to use the Welcome Week page from 2018 with a video compilation in the feature and with updated social media and events links specific to MD.

The MD Welcome Week page is found at https://medicine.hsc.wvu.edu/md-welcome-week.

Alumni

Cassie is working with Alumni Affairs to make the Alumni page become more engaging. She referenced the University of Southern California Alumni page and the Medical University of South Carolina Alumni page.

We set up a development Alumni section for Cassie to begin building this updated section behind the scenes.

Summer 2019 (Ongoing)

In the April meeting, Cassie mentioned focusing on updating department websites and implementing her proposed content and hierarchy updates to the main School of Medicine website over the summer. In addition to this, we agreed to start thinking about what the school wants to have on the website pertaining to Welcome Week and resources for undergraduate, graduate, and MD students.

Department of Medicine Residents Page (Updated 8/2)

Vicki brought a request from Sheri Campbell to add an Instagram button with an Instragram icon to the Department of Medicine Residents page. We don't typically add social media icons to content pages throughout the website. The "Visit Our Facebook Page" button has been a topic of concern in past discussions.
