Using the departmental web pages for graduate recruiting is an excellent tool that, of course, has a world-wide distribution. Web presented information is a major component of the College's Recruitment Plan and each department should strive to "put its best face forward." Web-based promotional and recruitment materials should follow the same guidelines as printed materials with respect to design, content and style. Remember that your web pages are considered official communication and a computing resource; therefore they must adhere to the University's Electronic Media Policy. These are a few items that should be considered when constructing your web pages.

• Ensure the accuracy of the information that you place on the web.
• Proof for spelling, grammar and HTML formatting prior to placing the pages online.
• Keep in mind the downloading speed of most home connections and minimize the amount of complicated graphics that are used.
• Test this by accessing your departmental pages from your home computer.
