The added support from Firstar will allow us to enhance our web opportunities in a timely manner. The movement toward live broadcasts is just one way in which Ouachita has improved its web site. In January, Lannie Byrd, a 1997 Ouachita graduate, returned to campus as the University's first webmaster. Byrd, who had been a webmaster for the The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, has transformed the Ouachita site with a new design housing regularly updated news, features and photographs. Other new projects are in the pipeline, including more accessible academic and account information for current students and more material for alumni and prospective students.
Live broadcasts provide another major enhancement.
We want everyone who tuned in to let us know how it sounds and if they had any problems, so we can improve before our next broadcast.
