Our office understands the importance of having a professional web presence for our faculty, staff and students. 

Faculty bios are fully hosted in Tridion with the exception of Manning School of Business faculty. Through contract renewal with Watermark, faculty of the Manning School will continue to update all of their content through the Faculty Success (former Digital Measures, DM) interface. The UMass Lowell web office maintains the component and page of all uml.edu bios, so MSB faculty must submit a Bio Update Form, to have a uml.edu presence. DM content will feed into MSB bios with the exception of the image and the title.

Additionally, professional website hosting is available for full-time faculty with the support of Information Technology.

Our team generally completes requests for bios within three weeks but could take considerably longer at the beginning of each semester due to the high volume of requests.

Use the information and form below to create or update your biography on uml.edu. 

Faculty, staff and students with bio pages are encouraged to use headshots submitted via the Submit a Bio Update Form.

If you do not already have a suitable photo, you can take one using a digital camera or phone. Find a space with good natural lighting and a blank white or neutral-colored wall. Have another person use the camera / phone and stand 4-6 feet away from you with their back to a window (in order to get natural light). A standard cell phone is able to capture a professional photo.

Photo Requirements

  • Color, not black and white, photo
  • At least 800 x 800 pixels after cropping and original can not be smaller than that.
