Since finalizing the migration of the uis.edu website from WordPress to Drupal, the website numbers have continued to improve. The numbers for August continue that trend, hitting a record high since site launch of over 1.1M pageviews. That is the highest number of pageviews we have received in August since 2013! The bounce rate is also still trending low at 1.93%.
In order to continue to improve the site performance, the Office of Web Services will perform tests and monitor the site to find other opportunities to optimize the site.

Students participating in an LLE can expect to gain professional skills and real-world experience while pursuing their degree.
