JHUniverse Background

The home page of The Johns Hopkins University's Web site has been revised to make it even easier for you to navigate the site.

You'll note that as you roll your cursor over the 11 links on the left side of the page, new submenus will appear on the page. Moving your cursor to a submenu and clicking on a link there will enable you to go directly to many of the university's most-accessed pages, allowing you to skip past the secondary-level page you've had to use in the past.

In addition, the "featured links" on the right side of the page will now "light up" as you move your cursor over them, making it easier to select from the list of important news items and announcements there.

Though these navigation improvements will help many visitors to the university's site, there are, as always, other routes available to the information you need. Many users like the home page search box; others prefer the "Browse Hopkins A to Z" link toward the bottom of the home page, and still others depend on the "audience gateways" in the black bar beneath the picture of Gilman Hall.

You may also wish to visit the newly revised home page of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the Homewood campus.

Thanks to all those who contributed to this revision of the university's home page, especially Chris Pace, web development specialist in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Special thanks also to Debra Gips of Communications and Public Affairs and Brian Cole of Hopkins Information Technology Services.
