Website Redux

Wheelwright girls preview new website

Staff working on the new website

Yes, we've changed the website, but not the school. The website's just catching up.

Welcome to the new Exeter website and its new feature -- Lion’s Eye.  The new site is a reflection of our school: vibrant, diverse, and eager to communicate. Images abound -- visitors will see our campus, students, faculty, staff and our activities.

Meet the Lion – The Exeter Lion's been silent too long. We've given the Lion a voice and the assignment of bringing the life and the news of the campus to our visitors. Visit this space often and get this fresh Lion's Eye view of Exeter, its people and its events.

We hope that students, faculty, staff, parents and other visitors will tip the Lion off with pictures, stories and news. You can always communicate with the Lion -- send it an email with ideas: lionseye@exeter.edu.

Other Features of the Site

It's now easier than ever to find what you need. You can search by:

Subject – the main navigation bar (blue near the top of the screen) groups information under headings. Admissions, for example, contains all the information you need to apply to Exeter. Student Life presents information on what it's like to be a student here – everything from a description of the clubs you can join to what's on the lunch menu today. After you select a heading, you'll see a menu (on the left) that presents the subtopics within that subject area.

Audience – if you click on one of the four audience links near the top of the window (Alumni/ae, Current Students, Faculty & Staff, Parents), you'll see a list of topics that relate to the interests of that group. Are you a parent looking for information on graduation? Click on 'Parents' and you'll find a link to graduation information. Are you a student looking for today's dining hall lunch choices? Click on 'Current Students' and you'll find a link to the menus.

Search engine – search now includes the majority of the information on the website. Enter any term into the search box at the top of the screen, click the double arrows, and you'll get a list of matching results.

You'll notice as you move through the website that not everything has the new look. We're still in construction in some areas of the site. For instance, the interactive campus map is still being built. Other sections of the site will convert to the new look in the future.

Stay tuned and come back often. There will be lots of new things to see.
