About the Faculty Expertise website and its profiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty Expertise website \u2014 bates.edu\/faculty-expertise \u2014 features profiles for members of the Bates faculty that are easily searchable by the college\u2019s many audiences, including prospective students, parents and families, journalists, and prospective faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each faculty profile includes academic titles, department\/program associations, relevant expertise, and contact information. Many faculty members have also chosen to include photos, biographical information, and professional links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profile information in Faculty Expertise \u2014 whether drawing from Banner or user-provided information\u2014 will automatically flow into two places: The Faculty Expertise website, and all associated departmental\/programatic websites.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

How Do I List a Department or Program\u2019s Faculty Members?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Faculty Expertise profiles can be easily integrated into an academic department\/program\u2019s website as both menu items and as individual pages by accessing the \u201cManage Faculty Profiles\u201d option in the \u201cSettings\u201d menu on the right sidebar within the WordPress Dashboard (see screenshot below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you have navigated to the \u201cManage Faculty Profiles\u201d settings page, you will be able to select the appropriate Department\/Program\u2019s faculty to be listed on the academic website. The second field lets you enter the exact menu item that these faculty profiles should be listed under, which will likely be titled \u201cFaculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit Name, Associations, Email, Department Chair, and Phone Number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This information is drawn from the Banner table PPACMNT to ensure accuracy and consistency across College directories, information, and Department listings. If you would like to change any of this information, please contact Lori Ouellette (louellet@bates.edu<\/a><\/strong>), Administrative Assistant of the Dean of the Faculty\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping information in Banner up to date is important because it appears in multiple places, including the directory, Faculty Profiles, and department\/program websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Include Non-Faculty Names in a Department\/Programs\u2019s List of Faculty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Non-faculty menu items for members of the department\/program, such as teaching assistants and assistants of instruction, can be included alongside Faculty Profiles in menu listings. Non-faculty menu items can be created as regular WordPress pages and added into the website\u2019s faculty and staff list by going to the Menu editing area found underneath Appearance in the left sidebar (seen screenshot below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the non-Faculty menu items can be placed above or below the current Faculty Profile menu items. In the \u201cManage Faculty Profiles\u201d area there are four options for how the Faculty Profiles should be sorted and integrated among existing menu items. The Faculty Profiles can be added either at the top of the existing menu, the bottom, sorted alphabetically, or added after a menu item of your choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Add Multiple Department\/Program\u2019s Faculty to One Website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the case of some department websites, faculty members belonging to the department are also listed under other departments. The Asian Studies Department website lists faculty from the Chinese and Japanese departments. This can be accomplished by entering in the name of the department under \u201cListing #2\u201d and \u201cListing #3\u201d in the Manage Faculty Profiles on this Site settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I List All of a Department\u2019s Faculty on One Landing Page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cFaculty Profiles: Department List\u201d block lists all of the faculty members of a department on one single page. Once you are in the block editor view of the \u201cFaculty\u201d page on the website, you can select the \u201cFaculty Profiles: Department List\u201d block from the block menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name of the Department must be entered exactly and is case-sensitive; \u201cEnglish\u201d will return all faculty members in the English Department but \u201cenglish\u201d will not. The proper syntax for the name of each department can be found in the Bates Catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
