This is the Academy’s first sitewide upgrade since the then-new website was
launched in January 2004. I hope that you like it, and welcome your feedback. As
always, I am eager to work with each division to make specific upgrades and
changes within your section of the website. These can include (but are not
limited to) adding new photos, creating new pages, and restructuring parts of
your section.
