Nestled in the hills of East Orange, Santiago Canyon College (SCC) serves the educational needs of over 14,000 students, while still growing. Mary Halverson, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, says of this expansion, �When Santiago Canyon College began to experience the growing pains of an increasing student body, one that is more and more computer-savvy, we realized we needed to increase our Web site�s capability and usability.� With the collaboration of School Web Services, SCC re-engineered its Web site to support this growth, preserving and converting the existing site while adding the capacity to substantially enhance the site�s potential.

SWS worked closely with the SCC project team, which consisted of staff members, deans, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs, and District I.T. Management. The existing SCC site was quite large, and the conversion took a total of three months. In the end, SWS converted over five hundred pages of information into the Campus Platform. In addition to the site content itself, SWS also migrated fifty SCC faculty Web sites onto the new SCC Web server.

After forty-five days of project review and testing, plus on-site training workshops, the new Santiago Canyon College Web site was launched. With the positive reception to the new site, especially by the faculty and staff who use the site to more effectively connect with their students and community, Santiago Canyon College has preserved an investment while continuing to grow and evolve.
