Reminder: Departmental List Page descriptions still needed

Just a reminder that we are in the process of building the Departmental List pages for the new website. Many of you have submitted descriptions, and we thank you.

However, we are still missing descriptions from many departments. If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to forward your 1-2 line (25 word max.) short description for your department. This is the description that will be used on the Centers, Institutes & Departments Listing Page.

See example below:

Family and Community Medicine:  With an emphasis on the family as a unit, Family and Community Medicine focuses on comprehensive medical care for all age groups.

As a reminder, this is just a very general listing of each unit and should be kept to a one-sentence, simple description.

Please send your descriptions to webmaster@evms.edu as soon as possible.  If you have any questions contact 757.446.7070 or email webmaster@evms.edu.
