Introducing Revisions!

Revisions is basically a log of what changes you’ve made to the content of each page on your site.

What if I said you don’t have to manually update the curriculum on your department’s website anymore?

You may have noticed that the websites are now https:// instead of http://. That extra “s” is what tells our site visitors and web browsers that our websites are secure.

We’re embarking on a new adventure! With your help, we’re going to start working on a new look for UL Lafayette’s websites.
