Full Description

Hello Cascaders -

As part of the university's new Digital Footprint Project, we're seeing significant progress on the first milestone: the review and cleanup of outdated Cascade web content by December 15, 2025. Thank you!

Cascade Cleanup Support Sessions

Our team has been offering twice-weekly support sessions to the project points of contact (POCs) for each site and we would like to extend that offering to other www.wm.edu Cascade editors participating in this vital work. If you need assistance, you'll find upcoming in-person and virtual sessions on the Cascade training calendar.

Note: Cascade editors within the schools, College of Arts & Sciences or Advancement should contact their Cascade Manager for direct consultation.

Accessibility Demos at Fix Your Content Day

Our team is also excited to be partnering with IT, STLI and others for Fix Your Content Day on November 18! We'll be presenting on two topics and participating in select drop-in work sessions that day. Please register to participate.
