All Weitzman faculty members are welcome to publish a People Page on design.upenn.edu. If you do not currently have a page and would like to create one, please contact your department coordinator.
Please read through the instructions in their entirety before making edits. There will be live demonstrations of editing a People Page at upcoming faculty meetings.
For guidance on capitalization, punctuation, and other text formatting, consult the Weitzman Style Guide.
Your Page’s Content
People Pages consist of the following fields (i.e., blank sections of the form):
Full Name* (First Name + Last Name)
Last Name* (This information is entered twice for sorting purposes.)
Credentials (e.g., FAIA)
Academic Title(s)
Pronouns
Contact Information (email, phone, office address, websites, social media)
Profile Image*
Profile Summary [paragraph format]
Bio Sections
File Downloads
Slideshow
Work and Research Links
Only the fields with an asterisk are required, but it’s recommended that your page include contact information, a profile summary and/or bio sections. The bio sections include a header, so you do not need to create one.

Logging In
If you are already an editor on the Weitzman website because you direct a lab/center/department, once you have logged in using your PennKey, simply navigate to your profile page to make edits.
- When logged in, click on “EDIT” in the menu at the bottom of the page.
- Click on the blue “SAVE” button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
If you are new to editing on the website, go to https://www.design.upenn.edu/user. Enter your PennKey username and password. (If you are already logged into other PennKey-based resources, you may not need to enter your password. If you do not have a PennKey, contact ithelp@design.upenn.edu.)
Click on “My Account” in the gray menu at the top of the screen.
You will see a screen that lists your profile page. Click on your name to navigate to the page.
Click on the EDIT button in the menu on the bottom of the page.
Editing Your People Page
The sections of the People Page are organized into drawers that are opened and closed by clicking on the blue links. Click on the blue link “NAME AND CONTACT INFO” to begin editing your basic information. Place your cursor in the text field you want to edit. To finish editing, click the blue SAVE button in the menu at the bottom of the page.
Here is how the form looks by default, with the drawers closed. The second image has the drawers opened, so that the text entered is displayed.
NAME AND CONTACT INFO
This part of the form contains email addresses, phone numbers, websites, and social media links. Place your cursor in the text field you want to edit. To finish editing, click the blue SAVE button in the menu at the bottom of the page.
PROFILE IMAGE
To replace your photo or add one, click on blue link for PROFILE IMAGE and use the CHOOSE FILE button to upload an image from your computer. The image needs to be a minimum of 760 pixels wide, up to 100MB. Acceptable formats include: png gif jpg jpeg. To change your photo, use the REMOVE button, then use the CHOOSE FILE button to upload a new image. The photo will be cropped and display as a square with fixed height and width, so there is a focus tool that allows you to position your photo in the way that you want it to appear. Look for the icon that looks like a + sign that will appear in the middle of your profile photo after you upload it. Move the focus tool to where you want the center of the photo to be–this is often on or around the nose of a person in a portrait. To complete the ALTERNATIVE TEXT field, which is required, enter your name. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue SAVE button in the menu. After you save your changes, you can click on EDIT, check the orientation of the photo and go back in to move the focus tool as needed.
ABOUT
Click on the ABOUT link to begin editing. This field is intended to display a short summary of your research and teaching in paragraph format. You may begin typing or copy-paste text from a Word document or PDF. You may apply boldface, italics, underlining, bullets, numbers, or indentation using the toolbar. Once you have typed or copy-pasted your information, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue SAVE button in the menu at the bottom of the page. To embed a link in text, use your cursor to highlight the words, then click on the LINK icon in the toolbar (third from right).
BIO SECTIONS
Most of the content of the People Page is found in this part of the form, including education, awards, exhibitions, and publications.
To add a new content block, use the ADD BIO SECTION button. Click on the radio button corresponding to the type of content you are adding or editing. Your selection will automatically create a header that is displayed above your information. Click on the ADD BIO SECTION to create another section. Once you have finishing adding your information, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue SAVE button in the menu.
IMPORTANT: If you add a BIO SECTION and do not complete the fields, you'll need to delete it before you can save any edits you've made to the page. You can do this by clicking the icon with three dots, and select REMOVE.
FILE DOWNLOADS, OPTIONAL SLIDESHOW, VIDEOS
Click the blue link to begin editing this section.
The bottom of the People Page can display an optional PDF (typically your CV), or an optional slideshow of images that you upload.
To upload a PDF, click on the blue FILE DOWNLOADS link, then click on the CHOOSE FILES button. Type the name of your document in the DESCRIPTION field.
To create a slideshow, click on the blue OPTIONAL SLIDESHOW link. You can upload one image at a time using the CHOOSE FILES button. For each image you upload, you will be able to add a caption. ALTERNATIVE TEXT is required for each image; this is a short description of the image that is intended for someone visiting the website who uses assistive technology.
Note that the video option has been disabled.
WORK AND RESEARCH LINKS
This section of the People Page form enables you to display up to 3 other pages on the website for research projects (these pages are technically “Work Details”). Here is how they will appear.
In order to add linked pages, click on the blue WORK AND RESARCH LINKS header to open the form. Place your cursor in the field under “Work and Research” and start typing the title of the page that you would like to display.
Here is the form view for the example above:
TAGS
The right side of the form has a section for TAGS. These are optional labels that will appear on your People Page in the right rail, and link to pages that display content related to the topic from across the website. To suggest new tags, contact news@design.upenn.edu.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue SAVE button.
