Your profile image — a portrait/headshot — will appear on your profile as well as faculty and staff lists and our People listings.

To Get Your Portrait Taken

The Office of Communications and Marketing offers monthly opportunities for you to get your portrait taken. Watch the Campus Memo for dates, times, and locations.

To Add a Profile Image

Your image must be a JPG or PNG at least 235 pixels on a side. Drupal will crop it to a square, if needed, based on the focus (see below).

To add your image:

1. Log in to edit your profile.
2. On the General tab under Photo, click Browse.
3. Select your photo and click Open.
4. Enter your name in the Alt Text field.
5. At the bottom of the page, click Save.

To Change the Focus of Your Image

If your image is not displaying the way you'd like, especially if you loaded an image that isn't a square, you can try changing the focus.

To change the focus:

1. Log in to edit your profile.
2. On the General tab under Photo, you should see your image with a small white plus-sign. Move the plus sign until it lines up with what you want to have as the center of your image.
3. Click Preview below the image to see what the image will look like. You are looking for the "profile listing" version. (Warning: This often opens in a new tab or a new window.)
4. Adjust the location of the plus-sign until the preview shows the crop you approve of.
5. At the bottom of your profile, click Save.
