Internet Communications

Internet Communications serves UTMB in a number of capacities related to the university’s web presence. As a component of Public Affairs, Internet Communications puts a digital face on the messages and initiatives of UTMB.

The group:

• Build and maintains UTMB’s institutional web gateways (the main public pages and iUTMB);

• Partners with Information Services (IS) to manage and offer web hosting services from UTMB’s main institutional web servers;

• Partners with IS, Facilities Operations & Management, and others to offer institutional applications and resources such as the Campus Online Directory and Online Map;

• Works with IS, Academic Resources and Office of Community Outreach to support web developers and web development activity on the UTMB campus;

• Tracks web traffic and trends;

• Is responsible for the creation and implementation of UTMB’s web identity standards, and works of behalf of the Web Advisory Board to maintain UTMB’s Internet publishing guidelines;

• Maintains responsibility (and partners with IS) for several campus communication venues, including the daily announcements, campus monitors system and iUTMB;

• Creates and is responsible for a large number of institutional, overarching campus web sites.

A commitment to collaboration and professionalism are two tenets of the Internet Communications group. Staff strives to serve with efficiency, courtesy and speed, and works to build web resources that are innovative and attractive, yet widely accessible, simple and compliant.
