Dear Suzana,
Thanks for the progress report. I'm glad to hear that you are moving
forward with a system that will allow users to reach the official
office or program page first when they type in a key word. This is
critical to our addressing concerns that the MIT website is difficult
to use, and should go a long way to improving it!
Thanks.
Kathryn
