All A&S faculty and staff are able to create a profile webpage that features their photo, an overview of their expertise and work along with their contact information. The profile page can feature a downloadable CV, publications, awards, media mentions, and many other categories of information. It is possible to link to a blog or relevant website as well.

A&S faculty pages are managed by the communications office in the A&S Dean’s Office. Profile pages are maintained centrally for the entire University. If a faculty member is affiliated with multiple departments and programs, the same profile page will be used across all sites.

Please review this faculty/staff webpage outline to learn the available fields for a profile page.

Please send your profile page requests to Jennifer Lo Prete, A&S communications manager, jloprete@richmond.edu.

The School of Arts & Sciences maintains several listservs to aid faculty and staff in communicating across departments and programs. Using a listserv allows one person to send an e-mail to a large number of recipients, without having to know individual e-mail addresses. Once a person is a member of a particular listserv group, he or she can send unmoderated messages to the list. Messages posted to the listserv by nonmembers must be approved by the moderator of the group.

Listservs should not be confused with SpiderBytes, which are the most effective method of distributing electronic information to the entire campus community.
