ITS/Marketing

NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS - I am pleased to announce www.pointloma.edu, our new Point Loma Nazarene University Web address. In addition, e-mail addresses now have the same structure (e.g., michelecorbett@pointloma.edu).

Although the new url and e-mail addresses are functioning, the old ones will still work until July 1, 2007. We have a year to make all of the necessary changes. Please begin to use the new url. I hope you are as excited as I am about this change! pointloma.edu is such a natural way to refer to ourselves. In no other instances do we use "Pt. Loma."

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Director of Marketing and Creative Services
