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.
