You might have noticed the University's new redesigned Web page, which was developed by a task force with a charge from Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton. Shirley K. Baker, vice chancellor for information technology and dean of University libraries, chaired the group, which spent a year redesigning and developing the site. The Web site gets more than 1 million hits per week, with 40 percent of those coming from outside the University. The University's 10,000-plus Web pages serve prospective and current students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, community members, visitors and the media.
Users can register for courses, renew library books or apply for jobs through the site.
The Web task force will continue to help shape the University's Web presence and growth. Feedback from the University community about the site is always welcome.

The Saturday Neighborhood Health Center, operated by students at the School of Medicine and the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, has added diagnosis and treatment of skin problems to its services with the help of Michael Heffernan, M.D., instructor in dermatology. The clinic offers free health care services on a walk-in basis to adults who have no health insurance.
