Our new site is built in Drupal, an open-source content management system that Technology Services selected in part for its flexibility and breadth. It is a complex system with lots of possibilities. We hope you'll be excited by the variety of things our new system allows us to do, but if you find the new system overwhelming, we will also still retain the workflow option of submitting updates through the Office of Communications.
