CMS Services and Training
The University website is managed with a Content Mangement System (CMS). Marketing provides access to, and training for, the CMS. For new CMS users, the first step is to request a CMS Account. You should then RSVP for CMS 101 training. The current CMS training schedule as well as various CMS resources are below.
