Site Organization
This section describes the organization of the sites on the student affairs server.
Departments
Departments will be rooted in a top-level directory of the student affairs
site and may be organized as a "simple" site with two levels of navigation or
use departmental sections.
The advertising address for the department is studentaffairs.case.edu
followed by the department directory. For example:
- studentaffairs.case.edu/athletics
- studentaffairs.case.edu/civicengagement
- studentaffairs.case.edu/thwing
Some departments retain legacy vanity site names which may be used in
advertising materials, though the divisional address is preferred to highlight
the identity of the division. New vanity site names will not be created. For example:
- careercenter.case.edu -> studentaffairs.case.edu/careers
- ess.case.edu -> studentaffairs.case.edu/education
- housing.case.edu -> studentaffairs.case.edu/living
Departments can select a theme color for their site from a list of approved
color schemes. This color is used for headlines, highlights, and other
navigational elements. Two departments cannot share a color unless they are
related in some way.
The name of the department will appear in the legend of each page directly
underneath the Case logo. Clicking on the department name will always bring
users to the home page for the department.
Events
Major events will be hosted at a second-level directory under "/events" and
may only be organized as a simple site with no sections. Events are essentially
considered sections of the "events" department. Events will be listed
alphabetically in the common event navigation.
Each event will have a vanity web address to be used in advertising
materials. The web address will be studentaffairs.case.edu followed by the name of the
event's directory. For example:
- studentaffairs.case.edu/familyweekend -> studentaffairs.case.edu/events/familyweekend
- studentaffairs.case.edu/homecoming -> studentaffairs.case.edu/events/homecoming
- studentaffairs.case.edu/studyover -> studentaffairs.case.edu/events/studyover
An event that is wholly sponsored by a single department will use that
department's theme color.
The word "events" will appear in the legend of each page directly underneath
the Case logo. Clicking on "events" will always bring visitors back to the list
of events on the site. The individual event name will appear directly to the
right of "events." Clicking on the name of the event will bring visitors back to
the home page for the event.
Groups
Dependent groups will be hosted at a second-level directory under "/groups"
and may only be organized as a simple site. Groups are essentially considered
sections of the "groups" department. Groups will be listed alphabetically in the
common group navigation.
Each group will be given a vanity web address to be used in advertising
materials. The web address will be studentaffairs.case.edu followed by the name of the
group's directory. For example:
- studentaffairs.case.edu/aiboard -> studentaffairs.case.edu/groups/aiboard
- studentaffairs.case.edu/mediaboard -> studentaffairs.case.edu/groups/mediaboard
- studentaffairs.case.edu/pdc -> studentaffairs.case.edu/groups/pdc
Some groups retain legacy vanity site names which may be used in advertising
materials. New vanity site names will not be created.

department's theme color.
The word "groups" will appear in the legend of each page directly underneath
the Case logo. Clicking on "groups" will always bring visitors back to the list
of groups on the site. The individual group name will appear directly to the
right of "groups." Clicking on the name of the group will bring visitors back to
the home page for the group.
Programs
Programs will be hosted at a second-level directory under "/programs" and

materials. The web address will be studentaffairs.case.edu followed by the name of the
program's directory. For example:
- studentaffairs.case.edu/emerging -> studentaffairs.case.edu/programs/emerging
- studentaffairs.case.edu/print2here -> studentaffairs.case.edu/programs/print2here
A program that is wholly sponsored by a single department will use that
department's theme color.

underneath the Case logo. Clicking on "programs" will always bring visitors back
to the list of programs on the site. The individual program name will appear
directly to the right of "programs." Clicking on the name of the program will
