Carnegie Mellon Web Forum

The Carnegie Mellon Web Forum exists to provide a forum for web designers, developers, writers, and marketers to meet and share information about their technical, support, and marketing needs relating to their use of the Internet to further the University’s goals. The Web Forum is sponsored and supported by Computing Services and University Advancement in order to provide a vehicle to inform the community and obtain feedback about the services offered by both groups.

Susan Alexander, Assistant Director of User Services facilitates the Web Forum. Jay Brown, Associate Director of Web Marketing for University Advancement, and J. Alex Lang, Director of IT for Campus Services all serve as co-chairs.

Mailing List 

Most communication surrounding the Web Forum occurs via the web-forum mailing list: web-forum@lists.andrew.cmu.edu
