Navigating the site

Homepage

Our homepage is organized into four sections: 1) the announcement banner, 2) links to our divisions and programs, 3) news links, and 4) upcoming events.

The announcement banner is where we call attention to new programs and initiatives, announce upcoming events, or highlight valuable information. The banner holds up to four different feature announcements at any given time. To view the different announcements, select the forward or back arrows on the side of the banner, or select any of the blue dots below the banner.

Main navigation

Across the top of every page, is our main menu with links to all the key areas of our site. All but the Home button expand to show an extensive list of links organized in three categories.

The About button introduces you to the department, our division and programs, DCBS leadership, and media, while giving you links to learn more about our history, mission, and who we are.
