Graduate Student Resources
For Graduate Student Web Profiles
The UT College of Liberal Arts (COLA) provides each faculty member and graduate student with a profile page (see our Faculty List and Graduate Student List) that allows them to maintain their professional information in a single location. That information can then be displayed on any COLA website with which the faculty or graduate student is affiliated.
Your profile on the American Studies website promotes you, your work, and the Department as a whole. When prospective students, employers and funders are searching for information about UT, COLA data shows that more than not, they go to the department of interest's website first. Once there, the most clicked-on pages of each department are the Faculty pages and the Graduate Student pages. Visitors want to see who the faculty are, what their research interests are, and what the graduate students are working on. Please make sure your page is filled out and kept updated.
Instructions for Editing Profile Pages
LAITS (Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services) provides easy-to-follow instructions with videos on how to update COLA website profiles. Please note that although these instructions refer to faculty, the same information applies to graduate student web profiles, as well.
Please make sure you have a photo with your profile! To update or add a photo to your profile, please see instructions here.
