Person (staff) profile pages are simple, individual pages for staff to include contact information and an optional bio and/or headshot.

All information on a person page is optional aside from name. The most common use-case for creating a person profile is so that a staff member can be included on a "Meet Our Team" page within a department. Each person can include as much information as they are comfortable sharing publicly on the website, although we recommend including at least one form of contact information and, particularly for staff members who interface with students or other members of the community, a professional headshot.

If you would like to add one or more person profiles to an existing Meet Our Team or Meet Our Faculty page, view our tutorial on the selected people paragraph type.

Anatomy of a Person Profile Page

Person/Staff profile pages have 5 parts:

  • Name (required)
  • A photo space for one high quality headshot (optional)
  • Job title (optional)
  • Contact information, including email, phone number, and office location (all optional)
  • The body copy area for the majority of the page content (optional)

    1. Crop and resize your photo to 400x400 pixels.
