HUNTER COLLEGE
Polishing CUNY’s “Crown Jewel”
CHALLENGE
Best described by the Princeton Review: “The crown jewel of the CUNY system, Hunter College is an institution teeming with resources and endless opportunities.”
Hunter’s original goal was to make their online presence shine. Committed to student success, they wanted a modern, accessible and transformative digital experience. They preferred WordPress so the site would be easy for a distributed team to maintain.
When COVID-19 changed everything, the website became critical to Hunter’s ability to maintain operations and communicate with students, faculty and staff during the pandemic’s many uncertainties.
SOLUTION
