The changes, explained below, are the result of months of user experience research and testing, reviews of best practices, and stakeholder input. Each system upgrade represents a unique set of improvements which will provide for a better experience enabling our users to navigate through their respective journeys with ease and built-in support.  

CWI Website

In an effort to enhance the user experience and allow users to easily locate information, resources, and services, a thorough review of content, components, and page structure has been conducted on cwi.edu.

  • Hundreds of pages across the site have been reviewed and updated to ensure content is up-to-date and consistent.
  • The new site navigation follows four top-level sections and introduces new landing pages to better guide the student journey across the site.
