Title of entry: UND Alumni Association & Foundation Website Redesign

About this entry: The UND Alumni Association & Foundation website was long overdue for a redesign. Within the past 5 years, the University of North Dakota had undergone a rebrand, and at the same time an extensive website redesign. While we are a separate entity from the university, we wanted our site to look like us, while also showcasing alumni stories and making it easy for our alumni to do business with us (namely give and attend events.)

Our organization is a private, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. While we are closely affiliated with the University of North Dakota, we operate completely separately from the University. Historically, our website has also been on a completely separate platform. This project brought our site under the umbrella of the University (we are now on the same platform), but it is still a separate domain.

We worked closely with our partners at the University of North Dakota, as well as Carnegie (formerly mStoner), who assisted the University on their redesign and was able to help us align our design as such, while still remaining unique and separate from the University.
