CAD Web pages have a new look

Making a good thing even better

In 2006, the Center for Academic Development's Web site garnered an Honorable Mention in the annual Learning Support Center's (LSC) Web Site Excellence Awards.

The event is co-sponsored by Learning Support Centers in Higher Education (LSCHE) and the National College Learning Center Association.

In a continuing effort to heighten the visibility of the programs and services offered by the National-Louis University CAD, we have redesigned our Web presence to help you find the area you need even faster than before.

Visitors to our site will find a homepage that functions as a sitemap with clearly worded links to all areas of the CAD's responsibilities.

Exploring the terrain of each Web page with your mouse will cause the underlined, colored links to spring into view, awaiting your command.

We hope you like the changes we have made, and we hope our new design is a winner in your eyes.
