Update links to www.georgefox.edu to use secure HTTPS protocol

Tuesday, October 24th, 2017

A few weeks ago Marketing Communications migrated www.georgefox.edu (not athletics.georgefox.edu, blogs.georgefox.edu, etc.) from using the insecure HTTP protocol (e.g. http://www.georgefox.edu/) to the secure HTTPS protocol (e.g. https://www.georgefox.edu).

Now we need to update links to www.georgefox.edu in our emails and other materials.

This just requires adding an “s” to the protocol to make this change (e.g. http://www.georgefox.edu/ -> https://www.georgefox.edu/).

This change needs to be made in all digital media that links to www.georgefox.edu: emails, email signatures, saved text to be pasted into emails, PDFs, links on other websites (not links *on* www.georgefox.edu), etc.

In print materials, it’s still fine to use URLs that do not include the protocol (e.g. georgefox.edu/visit).

Please take a moment to update links to www.georgefox.edu in any digital media you manage.

Questions? Email Peter Crackenberg at pcrackenberg@georgefox.edu.
