People

Quickly find a faculty or staff member's contact information, office hours, courses taught and more on their profile. All of this information is located in one central location to help our audience learn more about our fired up faculty and staff. The profile will appear when the faculty or staff's name is searched for on the site. This profile can also be linked directly in an email or email signature. There are many options to utilize the profile to bring more awareness of our faculty and staff.

People are imported directly from Active Directory into Sitefinity. You will need to work with Human Resources for the following changes:

  • A faculty or staff member needs to be added OR removed from Sitefinity.
  • The auto-populated fields have incorrect information in Sitefinity.
