Editing the Director and Contact Person

From the Pages View

1. In the left-hand navigation, click on "Programs."
2. In the new window, "Programs" find the program you want to edit and click on the pencil (edit icon).
3. Program website: In the "Edit Program" window, "Publishing Controls" box on the right, click on "Manage Titles".
4. Choose a title from the drop down on the left and the person who holds that title from the dropdown on the right.
5. Save.

The left-hand dropdown menu contains all the titles that have been approved for academic programs. If you need to use a title that is not in this list, contact us.

The right-hand dropdown menu contains all the people who are associated with the website of the academic program being edited. For example, it has all the faculty and staff in Englsh for the academic programs offered by the English Department. If you can't find the person you need to add, it is because that person hasn't been associated with the website. See the People (Bios) and Titles section under the Applications tab above to for information about how to do that.
