shulife.shu.edu

This web space is intended for student clubs and organizations to create and maintain a web presence.  Examples include the Student Government Association, Student Organizations at the Law School, and the Slavic Club.

Before requesting a space, each student organization is required to register with Community Development who maintains an official listing of clubs and organizations on their official website.  The official listing contains the club or organization name, its officers, faculty advisor(s) and basic contact information.  The Community Development webpage then offers the student club or organization the ability to link to another resource for more information.  They can choose to link to the club or organization’s national presence, a University hosted blog, a Facebook or MySpace presence or a website on shulife.shu.edu. 

The websites contained on shulife.shu.edu will expire on an annual basis with registration required with Community Development to keep the pages active and accessible.

Technical Info:

How to Access:

The current tool supported by the University for creating and maintaining websites is Microsoft's Expression Web which is part of the University's standard software suite.  If you do not already have the software loaded on your University-issued computer, you may contact the Service Desk to request the software or you may use the software in the University's open computer labs.

Courses in Web Development and the use of Microsoft's Expression Web are offered through the CTC on a regular basis.  Review the current available courses »

Users not wishing to use the University-provided software may use the web development software and FTP client of their choice.
