Revamped susqu.edu showcases authentic stories and modern functionality to inspire future River Hawks
Susquehanna University has launched a fully redesigned version of its website, susqu.edu, marking a major advancement in its digital presence. The reimagined platform transforms how the university connects with students, families, alumni and the wider River Hawk community through authentic storytelling and a modern user experience.
With over half of visitors accessing the site on mobile devices, the refreshed susqu.edu embraces a mobile-first approach for seamless, intuitive browsing. The redesign highlights Susquehanna’s distinctive strengths: hands-on learning, study abroad, undergraduate research and comprehensive career preparation.
Key features of the enhanced website include:
- A brand-aligned design that captures the Susquehanna spirit with vivid photography and meaningful narratives from students and alumni.
- Streamlined navigation for easy access to academic offerings, student outcomes and campus life.
- An interactive program finder to help prospective students identify degrees aligned with their interests and goals.
- Integrated social media and video content that brings student experiences to life.
- Enhanced accessibility features, including a dark mode option for improved readability.
“The redesigned susqu.edu marks a new chapter in how we share the Susquehanna story,” said Aaron Martin, university vice president for marketing & communications. “The site helps prospective students see themselves thriving in our supportive and academically challenging environment.”
To help implement improvements, Susquehanna partnered with ERI Design, a leading higher education website design firm, to ensure the site meets today’s digital expectations while adapting to how prospective students explore colleges online.
“The Susquehanna team brought exceptional vision and collaboration to every stage of this project,” said Raffi DerSimonian, vice president & chief strategy officer at ERI Design. “Their dedication to authentic storytelling and student-centered design is evident throughout the site. We are confident that this forward-thinking platform will serve the Susquehanna community exceptionally well for years to come.”
