Associated Students Inc. host speakers for a discussion on sensitivity to disability and regarding the re-launch of the California State University, Bakersfield website.

Janet Millar from the counseling center and Janice Clausen, director of the services for students with disabilities, spoke briefly with ASI about disabilities and how to be sensitive to others.

Millar said, “Be sensitive to what others have to deal with.”

The next speaker in the ASI meeting was Colleen Dillaway, the director of public affairs and communication who spoke about the new website.

The re-launch was decided by administration in 2011. A private firm was selected to form focus groups of faculty and students to build a better website.

Some guiding principals behind the website were for it to have a consistent look, clearly and visually branded with the CSUB logo, easy to navigate, and that would give users an immediate impression of what CSUB is.

“It’s more clear,” said graduate student Andrea Gonzalez, a 23-year-old sociology major. She believes that the best feature of the site is that “you can just go straight to anything.”

Dillaway explained that the site will always be updating and fixing issues, and if students have issues, concerns, or comments they can click on the bottom right hand of the page where it says “site issues” and fill out a form that is directly sent to her and the IT crew for the website.

This means any broken links or inconsistencies that users find with the new website.

“I think [the website] is actually really good. There’s a better, warmer environment,” said ASI Vice President of Programming Savannah Andrews.
