Changes to CWU Faculty and Staff Directory

Currently, each CWU web directory page is manually created and maintained. This process requires content contributors and approvers to manually update information whenever a faculty or staff member changes their position, updates their contact details, or experiences a name change. Without these manual updates, outdated information remains visible on the directory rendering the directory compromising its usability.

Beginning October 14, a CWU directory page will be created for all university staff and faculty members. Updates to the following information in the directory will be automatic; name, title, email, and phone number. New faculty or staff pages will be automatically created or removed as individuals join or leave the university. These updates will happen automatically once per week, and without the need of manual updates. These enhancements will make the CWU directory dynamic, and useful providing the most current name, contact phone and email, and title in real-time.

This transition will come with a small trade-off. Existing directory bios and photos will not be automatically migrated initially. To address the existing directory pages, the Web Services team, in collaboration with content contributors, will subsequently transfer the photos and bio content according to the following schedule:

If your directory page already exists on your department's website, communicate with your website content approver or contributor to ensure that your portraita and your bio are up-to-date. To find the content approvers or contributors who manage the content on your department's website, visit the Cascade User List page and search for your department's website by name.

Content contributors and approvers will receive communication directly with instructions on the work required to confirm the migration of existing directory pages.

For questions or concerns please email the Web Services team.
