Monmouth University will unveil a new, redesigned Web site this summer!

As we develop the new monmouth.edu, please continue to work in Ektron and update existing Web pages as you normally do. However, we ask that you complete large-scale, in-progress projects within the next 60 days. We encourage you to plan for new projects, and look forward to helping you execute them once the new site is live.

See how the Dept. of Psychological Counseling uses testimonials throughout its site...

Informative quotes from current students, faculty, and alumni can make a big impression on prospective students and Web site visitors. Psych Counseling effectively incorporated testimonials when developing its new Web site.

Have a large photo that's more than 470 pixels wide? Shrink it down before adding it to the Ektron library. No need to use Photoshop or an advanced photo editor. Watch this short video on how to resize your images using a simple program like Paint.
