Taxonomy in the CMS

Advancement Stories	News	School Blogs
Story of giving	Alumni	Alumni
Story of gratitude	Board of Governors	Anti-racism
	Campus services	Associate Faculty
	Students	Campus services
	Cascade Institute	Cascade Institute

	Grants and awards	Indigenous
	Indigenous	Research
	Military	Resilience
	President	Students

If you feel a tag is missing, please notify Chris Ryan to request a new one.

Similar but not the same

Although the tag list for Advancement stories, news and school blogs are very similar to each other, they are not identical and they are different lists entirely. Blogs, news articles and Advancement stories do not share taxonomies.

If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing a news article, you'll see a list of related news articles only.

If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing an Advancement story, you'll see a list of related Advancement stories only.
