Upcoming Audits from Web Services
|
|
Each spring term, UF Health Web Services begins an audit of all websites and Bridge groups to ensure the web content and those who manage it are up-to-date and less information remains stagnant on the web. What are these audits specifically?- Website Audit - Websites that have not received an update for 12 or more months will be flagged and website administrators will be contacted by a member of Web Services.
- Bridge Group Audit - Bridge collaboration groups that have not been active for more than one year will be flagged and the group's administrators will be contacted by a member of Web Services.
What to expect:
You may receive an email from Web Services inquiring on your website's need and use if it has not received an update in the previous 12 months.

An Update to Photography Services for Student Staff
Given our system’s growth and increasing demands on our photographers and studio, the Creative Services Photography team will not be able to offer photography services to students, either via appointment or via the scheduled open studio hours. Regarding headshots, we must maintain a focus on faculty and other medical staff, especially in light of the Apollo 2.0 Web faculty profile overhaul currently underway. Any students seeking head shots should contact UF Career Connections Center: https://career.ufl.edu/services-resources/molm-family-gator-career-closet/
