Our website has been moderately redesigned by our Administrative Assistant, Cory Foster. Featuring a new color scheme and heightened emphasis on graphics, we hope that this new version will help draw in new readers for whom vast slabs of text can be daunting!
As part of the redesign, the EBF Online section formerly in the word bubble to the right has been given its own link on the menu above. From here, you can follow links to our Blog and YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn pages. We will also begin promoting links to projects involving our Becker scholars, in order to keep you apprised of the inner workings of the EBF. Stay tuned. |
