The University has launched the Purdue Today Web site to provide a convenient source of information relevant to University faculty and staff.

The Web site at www.purdue.edu/newsroom/purduetoday complements the Purdue Today newsletter, which arrives daily in employees' e-mail inbox.

The Purdue Today Web site contains:

* A searchable archive of stories published in the Purdue Today newsletter.

* Items compiled from the past two weeks of the newsletter, including University news, human resource information, features, events, and other topics of general interest.

* Links to information about campus disruptions, health and safety news, and other significant University Web sites.

* Photo galleries and videos.

* Profiles on Purdue faculty and staff.

* Highlights from Purdue's wide range of social media offerings on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Purdue Today also has been redesigned to match the style of the new site. The daily newsletter continues to offer news of importance and interest to employees, including human resource updates, features about campus people and units, and stories about issues affecting faculty and staff.

Based on input from focus groups, events information has been moved from the bottom of the newsletter to the top right side for easier viewing.

The Purdue Today Web site and newsletter are published by the Office of Marketing and Media with the cooperation of Agricultural Communication Service; ITaP Communications; Physical Facilities Communications; and Human Resource Services Communications. Purdue Today acts as a companion to Inside Purdue, the faculty and staff newspaper for Purdue
University.

Comments and ideas for the Purdue Today Web site and newsletter are welcomed. You can reach us at vobrien@purdue.edu or purduetoday@purdue.edu.
