What is an intranet?

An intranet is an internal website used to securely share organizational information and resources among users.

What are we hoping to achieve by building an intranet?

In alignment with the website redesign project, the intranet will serve as a one-stop shop for internal information. Our goal is to create a space that is easy to navigate, secure, and informative. Once complete, faculty, staff, and students can reference the intranet for news, events, and all things Seattle University.

Intranet Content

Information Included in the Intranet:

• Department and School information relevant to faculty, staff and students

• SU Today updates with campus news, messages, and other information (your weekly email isn’t going away, but you will be able to reference all recent updates here)

• Upcoming campus events relevant to faculty, staff or current students

• Announcements/Notifications relevant to faculty, staff or current students

Information NOT Included in the Intranet (i.e. will be posted to the new website)

• Resources, materials and events relevant to external communities

• Promotional items meant for prospective students, parents, and employees

• Donor-related materials

• Alumni information

Site Overview

The intranet is built in SharePoint as a communication site and can be accessed through Microsoft 365. It mirrors a hub and spoke infrastructure, where the main hub site includes the homepages and links out to spoke sites. The connected “wheel” encompasses the intranet.

Homepages: To better connect users with relevant and timely information, we have created three distinct homepages: Staff, Faculty and Student. Users will be automatically directed to their designated homepage but each homepage is accessible to all. These homepages display news, events, and quicklinks that are curated for the intended audience. 

Redhawk Hub Content: Content submitted from groups across campus has been migrated, refreshed, and organized into different microsites (spoke sites). You can navigate to these groups using the navigation at the top of the site, or by searching for a specific topic using the global search bar.
