From October 2023 to March 2024, the Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing (SCM) is facilitating live WordPress training sessions with Stamats, the vendor that SCM and UFIT partnered with to create the new Mercury web templates.
These live training sessions will occur once a month and they will be an hour and a half long. All training sessions will be identical so users do not need to attend all of them. Below is the schedule of all training sessions as well as registrations links for each session.
