UPDATE (3/17/2009): EDU Checkup reviewed the WVU College of Human Resources and Education website last week. Listen/watch here: West Virginia University – College of Human Resources and Education – Epsiode #61
Our cadre of communicators regularly attend the WVU Key Communicators meetings every month. Last week was the February 2009 meeting. During that meeting, three colleges presented on their new website designs: Eberly College of Arts & Sciences, Davis College of Forestry, Agriculture & Consumer Sciences, and Human Resources & Education. What impressed me the most aside from the bold new designs was the way in which each college had embraced social media on its website. I was genuinely impressed that each one had already done so much in this area and had embraced this shift in communication.

What do you think of the updated websites? Do you think WVU should go farther with incorporating social media tools such as blogs, networks (like Facebook and Twitter) etc? Should the University do more? What would you suggest?
