About

Welcome to sites.lafayette.edu at Lafayette College! We are in the process of transitioning to WordPress Mu as a blogging platform/lightweight content management system for Lafayette. You can find a list of clubs, classes, and departments on the Participants page.

If you’d like to move your site to WordPress, visit the Web Page Guidelines on the ITS Web site and complete the Web Site Request form.

If you have questions about this project, please contact the WordPress administrators:
