Curtis Chin, the CIS Department&#8217;s systems administrator, worked with our colleagues in Systems and Networks to make it happen.\u00a0 They had a long list of tasks to accomplish even before we could begin to redesign the website.\u00a0 These included making a copy of the old server, deactivating our authentication, setting up a new domain, enabling authentication, copying content from the old site to the new site, disabling the old site, managing the redirects so sites linking to our old home page would still be able to find us, updating PHP and WordPress, and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stephen-oxner-10b2b8161\/\">Steve Oxner,<\/a> <a
