- Faculty or students doing notable or unusual work or with interesting personal and/or professional stories
- Stories about faculty and/or student research or engagement impacting the community

Why Your Faculty Profile Matters
Recruiting
Faculty profiles draw prospective students and faculty to our school. They communicate our strengths to individuals, encouraging them to join our educational and research community.
Media
Members of the media consult our faculty profiles when seeking subject experts, and will refer to yours for background information if they want to interview you. Your profile also supports the stories we publish to the world as an authoritative source.
Your Primary Web Presence
In addition to publicizing your publications, awards, grants and specialties on the graduate school of education school website, profile forms the core of your digital presence.
Submit Your News
Send us news about community engagement/impact activities, research projects, article or book publications, students doing interesting work, alumni with unique backgrounds who are making an impact in their fields, and more.
Help us highlight your success, or help us highlight the success of your student researcher. By announcing grants, we are able to publicize the many well-funded studies being conducted at our school and to highlight the accomplishments of individual investigators.
Faculty: Update Your Faculty Profile First
Before you contact us, please update your faculty profile with your new grant. This must be updated before we can publicize your award.
Our faculty, students and alumni win awards and receive other types of recognition all the time. Help us publicize these honors within our school and beyond.
Faculty: Update Your Annual Report First
Before you contact us, please update your annual report by listing your new grant in your faculty profile. This must be updated before we can publicize your award.
Let us know when your work gets local or national news coverage. Have you, your work, department or division, program or other efforts been mentioned recently in the media? If so, please submit the mention for consideration for “In The Media” on the school’s website. Not all submissions will be published.
Media mentions appropriate for our school’s website must:
- include your title or role in your department or division and the name of the university or school
- build your research, clinical and/or teaching reputation and your department’s or the school’s reputation
- not require registration or fees to access
How News Distribution Works
If we determine that the idea is newsworthy, we will either:
- write a story and publish it on our school website
- forward your information to writers in UB’s Office of Media Relations because they have determined that it should be distributed to a larger audience (i.e., local, national or international media outlets)
- Media Relations will follow up with you to write a story and post it on their website. Our office will then republish it on our school’s website and social media channels, where appropriate.
