   • If you have multiple titles and will be attached to multiple offices/departments all will be listed. Example: ”Executive Programs Director, Assistant Professor,” Dr. Emily Coleman would input “Vice President of Student Services, Adjunct Professor." List most relevant title first.

8. Office Phone Number

   • This should be the published number that students can reach you at.
9. Cell Number (optional)
   • Only include if you want this number listed on the UC website.
10. Expertise/Interest Area (required for faculty only)
    • Identify single word or two-word phrase that capture your area of expertise or interest. Words and phrases should be separated by commas. Limit to four expertise topics.
    • These can help students when looking for faculty with common interests for dissertation committees, publications, and networking.

      • Degree, Area, Institution, Degree Date (year). Most important is highest degree awarded and from what institution. Example: PhD Leadership, University of the Cumberlands, 2015 MS Information Technology, University of the Cumberlands, 2012 BS Biology, University of the Cumberlands, 2010
12. Biography (required for faculty only)
    • This is a narrative area where you can expand on your professional experience, current research or the areas of expertise that you identified above. This could be written in the third person. Any affiliations or awards should be included within written bio. Limited to 300 words.
      
      What You Should Do & Avoid
       
      • Start with your full name, general interests, and your current project, keeping them all very brief.
      • Include a reference to professional experience including industry, research, or military – again, keeping them all very brief.
      • If you are within a few years of receiving a prestigious award, mention that as well.
      • Finish with a personal note. Add a hobby, pet’s name, city where you live, favorite memory of UC – whatever you are comfortable with that is personal but not too private.
      • Avoid speaking in first person, i.e. don’t use “I.”
      • Don’t divulge too many details beyond your current position.
      • You do not need to include your educational degrees in your bio – they are already include on your same directory page.
13. Selected Publications, Presentations, & Lectures (optional)
    • It is suggested that faculty go back no more than 4 years in the list of publications and presentations. List chronologically, beginning with most recent. Limited to 10.  Provide Publication or Presentation in APA format.
