Contact Information

The Contact Information box is for names, email addresses, website links, and other directory information related to the academic program.

The content of this box may be updated throughout the year. Send your changes to Meg Hamel at meg.hamel@wisc.edu.

Set up each of your contacts, including your main department information, in the top section of the Contact List editing window. This is the set of fields that start with Name:. Leave the bottom section that starts with Label: blank.

Please capitalize text you enter in Title: and URL Label: fields, in addition to other typical capitalization.

Recommended sequence:

1. General contact info: unit name, email address, telephone number, office address, street address, website. Use your unit’s website as the URL link.

2. Specific people relevant to this program, with their preferred contact info. Some programs include chairs and other faculty leads, others don’t. Include room numbers and buildings. If the building’s street address is already included with the general contact information above, it doesn’t need to be repeated for individual people.

In Contact Information and the Advising and Careers section, advisors can provide their direct Starfish page link.

3. Links to “people” directories on your website: groups like faculty, advisors, office staff, etc.—however this is arranged on your unit website. It’s fine to have one link for all department people, if that’s how your website’s directory is set up.

Don’t add “http://” or “https://” to URL fields. Just use the plain domain name (e.g., use “pastry.wisc.edu” not “https://pastry.wisc.edu/”).

Check BA, BS, and certificate pages to confirm that any Contact Information differences are intentional. BA and BS contact information should match and contact information is not automatically copied between program pages.
