About the U of S Website

Background

In 1994, the first University of Saskatchewan home page was posted on the World Wide Web. Two years later, the University launched the U of S Web Project, an initiative to coordinate campus web development and support campus information providers.

The U of S Web Project was co-managed by the Office of Public Relations and the Department of Computing Services. This collaborative effort continues today, through the efforts of University Communications and Information Technology Services. Since its launch, the U of S website has undergone three major revisions - in 1998, 2001, and 2005.

In fall, 2005, the U of S website incorporated a revised logo and accompanying visuals. These elements were first showcased on U of S home page, main pages, and central websites, and are present on many unit and program websites. This consistent "look and feel" has been profiled in both print and online communications vehicles, and ultimately supports the University's branding efforts.
