Faculty faces obstacles in accreditation Pierce website to be revamped by Sensis Agency

Pierce College will be updating its website to be more user-friendly and consistent.

President Alexis Montevirgen said that Pierce has wanted to update its website for a while.

“Right now there are a lot of issues with our current website. It's not as functional as it can be,” Montevirgen said.

Technology Committee Cochair Edouard Tchertchian said the website will get a complete redesign. He also said members of the Pierce community will be able to provide feedback and suggest changes during the process.

“Students are a part of it. They're being involved and a faculty should be a part of the user group as well,” Tchertchian said.

A vendor known as Sensis Agency has been contracted by the district to revamp the websites.

Department Chair of Performing Arts Michael Gend said the announcement for the website update was unexpected.

“It wasn't on our agenda, but during announcements at our last Academic Policy meeting, Ryan Cornner, who's the Vice Chancellor for the district, mentioned that the district just secured a contract for Sensis to revamp the websites of the whole district,” Gend said.
