Website Updates
We maintain the QCNR website as a resource for students and faculty. Information is ever changing and evolving, and we rely on you to help us keep content up-to-date and looking good. Changes to ENVS, WILD and WATS pages can be made by your department contact. Other requests (or if you aren't sure) can be sumbitted to lael.gilbert@usu.edu or miranda.lorenc@usu.edu.
Updates & Changes
Please include with your email request:
- The web address of the page that needs edits
- The location of the text to delete/change on the page
- New text written out as you'd like it to appear
New Content
Please contact us to request a strategy meeting. We'll discuss:
- Communication goals for your content
- How you'd like it structured on the page/site
- If it is something that belongs on the QCNR website, or somewhere else
Directory Updates
There are two online directories at USU:
The USU Directory has public contact information about departments, faculty, and staff. Login is required to view directory details (to avoid spammers).
- Personal name, email and phone number: Update from the personal information page in Banner.
- USU office, phone, title and position: The directory manager in QCNR Business Services can help you to update this information, and whether it is visible to the public.
- Update your information through your department contact.
- Choose to include links to lab websites, to list courses and grad students, and more. Example
- We recommend linking to Google Scholar or your Faculty Success page rather than using a CV, as it is easily outdated (but we are flexible).
- You can opt-in to additional fields (contact us to request) including pronouns, an "appointment" button and/or a secondary website link that you can name (for things like name pronounciation).
- Submit a new photo at least every few years. See below for guidelines.
Some QCNR faculty are also listed on the USU Faculty Experts pages, which are managed by university-level Marketing and Communications. You can update your information on these pages by filling out this form. You can request a new experts profile here.
Directory Headshots
Headshots should be updated every few years. New photos can be submitted to lael.gilbert@usu.edu or miranda.lorenc@usu.edu. We can also take new photos. Please reach out to to schedule a time.
Please choose images with the following elements.
- We prefer an outdoor setting, but it isn't required.
- No selfies, sunglasses or masks.
- Please be looking at the camera.
- Avoid logos and crazy t-shirts (we can help Photoshop these out if requested).
- Photos will be cropped to a 3:4 ratio (we can help with that).
- USU also offers professional headshot services for faculty and staff (indoor, white background). Time slots can be scheduled most months.
Faculty Lab Pages
If you’d like QCNR to host a simple lab page on USU's system, we offer two templates. You won't have direct editing access -- requests for changes come through our office (per direction of USU IT). You are also welcome to build a site of your own using Wordpress or Google pages outside USU's system. This is the best option for those who want a more complex layout. External sites also travel well if you make a shift away from USU. We don’t require oversight of these pages, and are happy to include the external link in the QCNR directory.
