It’s always a good time to update your faculty/staff bio

Remember, there’s no bad time to update your faculty/staff bio. Because faculty/staff bios are maintained through a central database, they can’t be updated at the departmental level. To update your bio, all you need to do is E-mail Giavanna Palermo with your edits or additions. You can include the changes in the body of your E-mail or attach a Word document. If you’re starting from scratch, you can always just E-mail your C.V.

What can go on a bio page?
Bio pages can include any of the following data:

  • Name
  • Title (about four or five can be displayed per person)
  • Office
  • Phone
  • Fax
  • E-mail
  • Website
  • Blog address
  • Teaching (it is preferable, though not required, to list general teaching areas rather than specific courses)
  • Research
  • Education (any number of degrees can be stored)
  • Publications
  • Academic and Professional Activities
  • Performances
  • Exhibits
  • Presentations
  • Lectures
  • Awards
  • Additional Information (think of this as an introductory paragraph or some other summative text)
  • One photo

Update Faculty/Staff Web Bios

With the end of the school year, please take a few minutes to look over your bio page on your department’s Web site and ensure that it is up-to-date. You can include most anything that is currently on your CV or resume, as well as links to your blog or personal Web site.

To make a change or addition, simply send me changes via email. If you have substantial changes, feel free to send a Word document. The Dean’s office will make the changes over the summer.

A few good examples are at:
