Valdosta State University Home Web PageVSU Website/CMS Cascade server resources

In October, 2012 VSU launched its new website. The website is being migrated to the new design in a phased approach over the next 12-18 months.  Users will also be utilizing a new content management system to edit the website called Cascade Server.  When your area is scheduled to be migrated you will be contacted by a web team member to schedule your training session. The redesign includes new templates, better navigation/architecture, enhanced accessibility features and a responsive design which allows visitors to view web pages seamlessly on smart devices.
