Mendoza Website Redesign: Your Voice, Our Future

Dear Mendoza Colleagues,

Over the past several months, our Marketing & Brand Strategy team has been laying the critical groundwork for an all-new website experience. This initial phase has been about understanding our current digital landscape and charting a strategic path forward.

Behind the Scenes: Strategic Groundwork

Our groundwork has involved:

• Comprehensive meetings with Notre Dame’s Creative Web Services Team.
• Collaborative sessions with Mendoza IT and our Mendoza developer, MinHee Myung.
• Thorough auditing of our current digital ecosystem and current websites.

We learned:

Our Mendoza websites are scattered across different platforms, making it difficult to tell a consistent story about who we are. We see this as a chance to bring our digital branding together in a way that truly showcases the Mendoza College of Business and our strategic goals. We aim to create a cohesive website experience that highlights our collective excellence and makes it easier for visitors to find information across our entire ecosystem.

Bringing Your Voice to the Forefront

Over the next month, we'll conduct a series of focused feedback sessions with each academic department, program and key stakeholders. We want to create a meaningful opportunity for you to shape our digital future, share your insights, and, ultimately, help us build a user-focused website that aligns with our College’s strategic priorities.

What to Expect

• Collaborative Feedback Sessions: Brand managers will be inviting all departments, faculty and staff to attend sessions at various points. Student feedback will also be collected.
• Real Impact: Your input will inform our digital identity and comprehensive strategy.
• Open Dialogue: We’re committed to establishing a setting where you can share your candid thoughts and ideas.

Our Approach

Our goal is to create a website that not only looks great but serves the diverse needs of its users — including prospective & current students, faculty, staff, alumni, employers and more. We want to understand:

• What works well on our current website.
• The challenges you face —  or those you hear of students facing —  when navigating our web pages.
• Your vision for a more effective Mendoza College of Business website.

Your Feedback is Our Greatest Asset!

This is our opportunity to reimagine how we present ourselves to the world. We’re committed to a thoughtful, transparent process that values your perspective.

Stay tuned for your department’s invitation. We’re looking forward to building a new and improved website that reflects the Mendoza difference.

Best,

Rebecca Wood
