New Harvard Extension School website!

The Harvard Extension School just updated its website, and I gotta say, it looks pretty slick at first glance. They cut out about half of the links that used to run down the left side of the page, gave it a modern look, and feature prominently a teaser about an Extension School student, someone who is taking classes part time while she works during the day. And the tagline: "What are you doing tonight?"

The school is obviously trying to appeal to local folks who are working full time, who might be interested in the Extension School offerings.

I haven't explored the site itself, but will give it a spin later this week.

One small design issue: The description of the profiled student, Jaya Kumar, is on the right side of the page, but her photo is on the left side of the page, separated by other text and photos. There's no caption or image text either, to let people know that Jaya is that person.
