<p>The new University of Rochester Athletics website has gone live. I think it looks pretty sharp: Athletics</a> and Recreation : University of Rochester</p>
<p>It is good. Keeps in the trend of the overall website direction. Don’t like the photo of a guy wearing a generic shirt. Looks like a stock image, so I assume it’s just a temp.</p>
<p>For anyone not aware, schools seem to be in a race to change their sites in major ways nearly every year. Some get really confused about their core design elements. Others look really old-fashioned. </p>
<p>I think UR could do more to disseminate its educational message - more about the curriculum - but it seems to have a solid grasp on its core design concepts. That’s much less true on interior pages than on the fronts of sections. They have not pushed the concepts through in a number of areas - e.g., housing, the bursar. There things look old-fashioned.</p>
