Profile Guidance Notes

A well-written public profile will improve the visibility of both you and the University.

Length

As a guide, please limit your profile to around 350 words. This will ensure that your profile displays neatly and is easy to read.

Style

Write in the third person (you are writing from the perspective of the University). Feel free to use your ‘preferred name’ within your bio. For grammar and formatting, refer to The Chicago Manual of Style Online

Structure

Structure your biography addressing six key areas (or as many as are relevant to you). Separate each area with a paragraph break.

The biography should begin with a short overview (e.g. how you would be introduced at a professional event). Following the overview, address the remaining five areas in order as is applicable to you.
