The Communications Office has released the first iteration of the Adams State mobile website. m.adams.edu is a great way to get information from our website fast on any mobile device. Point your phone’s web browser to m.adams.edu to get started.
The directory provides quick access to the Faculty and Staff search. Email, phone and room numbers are displayed when you search for each person. Clicking on the email link will open your email client. The phone link will open up your device’s dialer. A nice time saver.
The news section provides quick access to news feeds available on the site. Adams State News is displayed by default. Use the drop-down to display Athletics News and Campus Announcements found on the One Stop and Faculty Resources Pages. In the article view you can quickly share the article with your friends using Email, Facebook or Twitter
Stay current with happenings and events on campus. All the Google Calendars used across campus are easily accessed here.
Need to find a building or point someone to the correct location? The map section displays our Campus Google Map. Clicking the list view will bring up a listing of all buildings on campus. In the building view, clicking on the listing will bring up more information about that building and what you can expect to find there.
Have a few minutes to spare? The video section has a listing of our most recent Adams State YouTube videos including Faculty Lectures and Lunchtime Talks.
The emergency area has the current status of the e2campus alert system along with quick links to emergency phone numbers and the Adams State Police Department. When a current emergency is active, it will also show at the top of the site’s home screen.
Here you can find a list of links that may be useful on your mobile device. Things like Weather, Ski Reports and social sites.
We recommend adding Adams State Mobile to your phone’s home screen or bookmarking the site for quick access.
As always, if you have any questions contact the Adams State Communications Office or leave a comment.
Bricolage Users – it’s time to find out about the new changes Mike has made to elements in Bricolage.
Let’s meet upstairs in the Art Dept – Room 222. For your convenience, I’ve set up two times to go over the below material:
In both sessions, I’ll be going over two important changes – how to use the new content block element, and how to edit the new right navigation:
Content Block Element
1. Our new “Content Block” replaces lists, paragraphs, sub-headers and headers. It looks like this in Bricolage:
New Right Navigation
2. The new right navigation has an exciting new look. You’ll learn how to edit it using elements like “Featured Links” and “Content Block:”
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone! Contact me if you have any questions!

Congratulations, Mariah, you truly are a student worth recognizing.
Here is an update on what to expect in the next couple months with regards to our new site redesign. Please note that the below dates are estimates. We will be giving you more exact dates as soon as I know more:
1. We will be freezing the current web site as well as access to Bricolage around December 12th.
2. We will be providing training sessions on the new site and new Bricolage elements in early December.
2. We will be bulk publishing the new site in early January.
During the time between freezing the current site and publishing the new site (roughly Dec 12 – Jan 2) you will be unable to publish anything to your site. Please plan ahead for this… if you have an emergency change or upload that you need to make to your site during this time, please contact Jen and we can discuss some options.
Finally, we predict that the transfer of all the right navigations to the new site may be a bit tricky. We are, therefore, beginning to transfer your right navigations NOW in order to test them and make sure they match the right navigations on the current site. PLEASE try to avoid making any changes to your right navigations from now until early January. If you have plans to make changes to them, please e-mail Jen at jstoughton@adams.edu and let me know.
So to sum up, from tomorrow (Nov 17) through Dec 12 DO NOT publish changes to your right navigation. Then, from Dec 12 – Jan 2, Bricolage will be inaccessible, and you will be unable to make changes to any part of your site. Once again, if you have an emergency change that you need to make – let me know and we will work with you to get it done!
