university

We redesigned our site about 6 months ago and have an in-house developer (me). However, we've decided we'd like to change our main page which requires some CSS work and some layout changes and automation. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or expertise at this point to try and make these changes confidently. I'm looking for a contractor (independent) to work with on tweaking our front page content area and perhaps a couple other small projects.

You should have sites to show, willing to work with a large organization, and okay working with me to make it happen before the school year.

A well known university (you have absolutely heard of them) in Cambridge MA seeks a contract Webmaster with drupal experience. This is a 3-6 month contract opportunity with a strong chance to turn into a full time permament.

The position requires maintenance and development of new websites. The candidate should have experience working with PHP, MySQL, Ajax, Javascript, DHTML. XHTML and other web programming languages.

The candidate must have experience in working with drupal AND installing drupal modules.

There is an immediate need to hire and begin this position!

This thread is for colleges/universities who currently use or are planning to use Drupal.

My name is Greg Linch and I'm the editor of The Miami Hurricane at the University of Miami (Florida, USA).We're in the early stages of building our site.

To kick off the conversation, here are some blogs and posts discussing our redesign:

A quick browse through many public-facing websites at the University of Prince Edward Island reveals a growing trend: UPEI has been converting many of its existing websites to Drupal.

Welcome to the group! I recently launched a new website for the Rice University Student Association (at 4 am this morning - fun) and I plan on launching a Drupal site to replace the aging website of my residential college, Jones College. The idea to create a place for Drupal campus web developers to exchange ideas popped into my head a few minutes ago - and here you are!

I'd love feedback on the SA website - especially criticisms!

I've made test installations of Drupal before and, frankly, found its philosophies and implementation confusing, unfriendly and unnecessarily techy (concepts not explained in English). The prospect of editing themes and tinkering to achieve custom results seemed daunting.

Now I see this group, I'd like to ask your views on using Drupal to run an online news(paper) for journalism school students. That is, something with which undergrads can be introduced to and would practice the fundamentals of online journalism, from story publishing to blogging.
