Dear Web Publishers,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Student Support website, the website has replaced the Disability and Dyslexia Support Service (DDSS). The new website offers students an easier way to find the help they want, by using a variety of snippets. The snippets make organising important information, look tidy and inviting to read.

Please visit the site at http://www.kent.ac.uk/studentsupport/ to see the finished product and the range of support Student Support has to offer.

Please do not forget to update your links in printed media and your websites.

Kind regards,
Websupport

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Paris website which was developed specifically for the University of Kent, Paris campus to promote the range of modules they have available for students and provide any information a student could need to know about living in Paris for the duration of the modules.

The new Paris website took inspiration from the current Brussels website, but added its own twist, taking full advantage of the wide variety of snippets that are available at publishers disposal to lay out the information in a clear and organised manner, also aided with vast amount of beautiful imagery.

Please visit the site at http://www.kent.ac.uk/paris/ to see the finished product and the range of services the Paris campus has to offer.
