Manchester Web Agency SilverTech to Develop Online Experience
"As the Institute has added undergraduate and graduate programs in the visual arts, design, and creative writing in recent years, increasingly our students come from beyond New England," said NHIA president Kent Devereaux, "and the primary way those new students discover NHIA is through our website. That's why selecting the right partner to help us develop our digital strategy has been so important."
Stay tuned for more news as this exciting project continues in the coming months.
