# Update your user account and staff profile
Keeping your profile up to date helps students, alumni, and colleagues know who you are and how to reach you. In uConnect, your profile powers the information displayed on your **Meet the Team or Staff** page (and anywhere else your profile appears). This article will explain updating your profile and adding team members to your Meet the Team page or wherever your user profile appears in your platform.

## Step 1: Log Into Your Dashboard
1. Log into your uConnect platform.
2. From the top-left corner, click **Back to the Dashboard**.
---
## Step 2: Navigate to Manage Users
1. In the dashboard menu, go to **Manage\>Users**.
2. Use the search bar in the top-right corner to find your account by name or email.
3. Click on your name to open your profile editing screen.
---
## Step 3: Update Your Basic Information
On the **Basic Information** tab, you can:
- Edit your **title** (e.g., Career Advisor, Director of Career Services).
- Update how your **name displays** (full name, first name, last name).
- Adjust your **role type** (if you’re an admin, you can also change roles for other users).
⚠️ **Important:** Click **Update User** at the bottom of the page to save your changes before navigating away.
---
## Step 4: Add Contact Information
In the **Contact Information** tab, you can include:
- Email, phone number, and office location.
- Personal website or social media links.
- Advising or career coaching specialties.
- Current company or employer information.
---
## Step 5: Manage Account Settings
On the **Account Management** tab, you can:
- Set a new password.
- Send a password reset link to a teammate.
---
## Step 6: Write Your Bio
1. Open the **About Yourself** tab.
2. Write a professional bio that highlights your background, expertise, and role — this text appears on your public-facing profile page.
3. Use formatting tools (bold, italic, lists, etc.) to style your text.
4. Click **Update User** to save.
---
## Step 7: Upload a Profile Picture
- Upload a professional profile photo that is at least **400 x 400 pixels**. Accepted formats include JPG and PNG.
- This will display wherever your profile appears (e.g., Meet the Team page).
---
## Step 8: Add Appointment Information (Optional)
- On the **Appointment Information** tab, add a link to your scheduling tool — such as **Handshake**, **Microsoft Bookings**, **Calendly**, or any other booking platform — so students can easily schedule time with you.
---
## Step 9: See Your Changes Live
Once saved, your updates will appear anywhere your profile is displayed across the platform, including the **Meet the Team** / **Staff** page.
---
## Step 10: Add Additional Team Members
If you want to add colleagues to your team page:
1. First, make sure they have a **user account** in uConnect under **Manage\>Users.**
2. From the dashboard, go to **Publish \> Pages**.
3. Search for your **Meet the Team** page (or whatever your page is called).
4. Open it and scroll down to the **Live Staff Page Users s**ection.
5. Use **Search All Users** to find colleagues.
6. Drag and drop to arrange their order, or remove users if needed.
7. Click **Save** to publish changes in the far right corner.

## Final Tip
Keeping your profile up to date ensures students and alumni can always connect with the right staff member. We recommend reviewing your profile at least once a semester — or any time your role, contact information, or photo changes.
