Academic Departments and Programs
All academic departments should contact their account executive in the Marketing & Communication Office to update or create new websites.
Personal Web Sites (Faculty only)
Due to the popularity of blogs and other free web authoring sites, Wartburg no longer sets up personal student, staff, or faculty FTP websites. Those faculty who currently use FTP sites may continue to use them until a better solution can be found. Faculty websites will be deactivated immediately after termination of employment or if information has not been updated within three years.
Student Organizations Websites
Student organization websites are maintained by Marketing & Communication Office. Contact Chris Knudson about updates and creation of new websites.
Web Reports
Web visitor analysis trend reports can be created for specific areas of the Wartburg Web site for strategic planning purposes. Broken link reports can also be generated for any area of the Wartburg Web site. If you wish to have these reports run, please contact Chris Knudson.
Database Applications
ITS creates and maintains all database applications that interact with the campus administrative systems. If you have questions about current or future application development, contact Tod Schulz, applications manager.
Wartburg Social Media
Marketing and Communication manages and monitors the major social media channels for the College (i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.). All College news is released to national media and individual outlets through social media. Click here for campus social media policies (PDF).
Inappropriate Facebook Pages
-
Wartburg does not endorse or condone these pages. In fact, the college finds them to be destructive.
-
We pursue administrative actions to report and remove these posts and the offending pages.
-
Because the Administrators are unknown to us, we have no way to contact them other than to send messages and request that offensive posts be removed.
-
We report many of the posts for a variety of reasons — to both Facebook and the Administrators. Sometimes these actions are successful and sometimes they are not.
-
We ask anyone affected by these posts to report them to Facebook. We continue to do the same.
-
We work with local law enforcement to explore our options.
-
We have established communications plans to the campus to encourage reporting and boycotting these pages, without drawing additional attention to them.
-
We are helping students and others better understand the consequences — short and long term — of participating in these pages, emphasizing the negative impact they can have on their careers.
