About This Site

Welcome to the new USFCA.edu.

The new University of San Francisco site represents the result of months of work, discussion and community review. Our goal in redesigning the site was to update its look and feel; to make its code more accessible and standards-compliant; and to better reflect the University's position as a center of leadership and academic innovation in one of the world's most plugged-in cities. We're excited to release it to the world, and we're looking forward to your feedback.

Our new site communicates USF's key messages, as articulated by Father President Privett in the 2028 Planning Document, more directly and effectively. While the last version of our site contained information about USF's vision, mission, values, and key attributes, the new site's "About USF" section explores each of USF's primary strengths in depth— from our academic excellence to our San Francisco location to our global reach to our Jesuit values. Our goal has been to make these strengths into more than bullet points— to communicate USF's values by showing, not just telling.

The new USFCA.edu was designed by White Whale Web Services, in collaboration with USF's Web Redesign Working Group Committee and students, faculty and staff across campus. It was implemented by USF's Office of Web Services using a new content management system, Ektron, which will enable content managers all over campus (and across all of USF's regional campuses as well) to maintain their sites more easily and efficiently. 

The road ahead

Our redesign isn't done. Over the next few months you'll see it continue to evolve, as more USF sites are migrated into the new design template. And we'll soon be launching a new section of our site, called The Pool, that will bring together blogs, photos, video, and maps from throughout our community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
