This week I attended the edUi conference (opens new window) in Charlottesville, VA. The conference focuses on the universal methods and tools of user interface and interaction design as well as the unique challenges of producing websites and applications for large institutions.

Although I was not able to attend her session, Erin White (opens new window) gave the Wayne State Office of International Programs website (opens new window) a shout out as a good example of "direction" in web design. I just wanted to post a quick note to thank everyone who worked on the project for their hard work and dedication. We love to see months of hard work and effort get noticed.
