Faculty profiles

Having an up-to-date and robust faculty profile allows your information to rank highly on search results, enhance your department, research and the university.

High search engine optimization (SEO)

People are searching for you or your research interest areas. More than 50% of the website visitors who land on your profile come from an organic search (natural search results).

Department faculty listings highlight faculty connections to the research, courses, news mentions and expertise.

The information from profiles is fed to various pages throughout campus for undergraduate students, graduate students, peer faculty and media to discover.

Where they are viewed

Each faculty profile can be viewed in two locations:

Directly in the school/college website within one or multiple listing pages
Example: https://engineering.wayne.edu/profile/gl9815
The university directory, which includes Banner information is a single page with all profiles for an individual
Example: https://wayne.edu/people/gl9815

Standard profile fields and ideal content

Field	Ideal content
Title	Your primary academic title. Example: "Associate Professor, Computer Science and Industrial and Systems Engineering"
Picture	3:4 portrait-oriented photo, 600x800 px with a max filesize of 200 kb Resource: imageresizer.com
Biography	1-3 paragraphs narrative overview of background and highlights, put the most important information first. Example: Dr. Bass has spent over 30 years developing brain, spinal, thoracic, abdominal, extremity, and other risk models applicable to humans. This work includes developing pre-clinical, computational and physical models for various traumatic conditions, then scaling or translating this research to humans. These models assess human injuries and behavioral sequelae as a pathophysiological response to injury states. Dr. Bass is an internationally recognized expert in civilian and military biomechanics, including blunt, blast and ballistic biomechanics, with over 25 years of experience helping the U.S. and other allied militaries solve operational biomechanics problems. Typical projects have ranged from mine blast injury assessment to spinal injuries in high-speed craft to assessments of surgeries at sea in high sea state motion environments.

Which fields are transferred to ForagerOne

ForagerOne facilitates connections between research faculty and aspiring undergraduate, graduate, professional and postdoc researchers.

Fields synced with ForagerOne

Because different departments have carried fields for similar data, the information feeding into ForagerOne may come from one or multiple fields depending on which are available. If there are multiple CMS fields for the same ForagerOne field, the first field with information will come over.

Multiple profile priorities

For faculty with multiple profiles, all profiles are combined and synced to ForagerOne each week.

Priority is given to:

School/College level profiles
Then Departmental level profiles
Then Center/institute/lab profiles

Questions about profile edits

Each School/College has a primary contact for faculty profiles and they have a preferred style for profile updates.
