The ASU Community Connect website was recently launched as a way for the greater community to more easily access the resources available to them through ASU. The Google Map component of this site was created by GIS Services. By clicking on points in the map, people can discover not only what ASU could offer them, but where it is offered as well. Many people said they felt overwhelmed at the idea of approaching ASU, and were confused regarding whom to talk to or how to find information about what kinds of services and programs are available. In response, the site was created to provide new pathways to information about programs, partnerships and services connected with ASU. The site is designed to function as a tool for individuals to meet their personal or professional objectives. The result is a link-based site, with very little rhetoric and many choices.
