Apparently We're Well Into the 21st Century

And so, the SOU Art Department is trying to get its web act together. I'm going to be using this blog to collect information the department will use to upgrade its website. There are a few quick poll questions on the right of this page for you to answer, but I would also like to invite you to leave a more detailed comment. Anonymous comments are fine, though it would help if you let us know if you are a student, faculty, innocent bystander, etc. To comment, click on the blue COMMENT text at the bottom of this post. You can check out the current Art Department website here.
