The site supplies information about room capacities and reservation contacts. Authorized users are able to upload photos and information about rooms on campus.
Growing Allies
The Growing Allies website demystifies Allyhood, promotes their Fall retreat, and encourages students to get involved. Like many of the other sites built by Technology Services, the Growing Allies website was built in Drupal, a content management system that allows staff to update content as often as needed without having to know html.
