Cain Project Launchs New Web Site
The Cain Project’s web site has a fresh new look, thanks to Sharon Gibson-Mainka’s collaboration with Rice’s Web Services department. This new version incorporates the “Windows on the Cain Project” theme used in the Project’s brochure.

In addition to the new look and feel of the site, visitors will notice the updated content. Users can browse the site to view materials that the Cain Project developed to support various courses as well as to receive information about upcoming events and workshops. The site also includes instructions and self-help materials on subjects such as how to design, prepare and print posters.

This redesign is the first stage of the Cain Project’s plan to support students and faculty with on-line resources.
