Faculty are among the most accomplished individuals that make up a university, and Cal Lutheran has many esteemed faculty members. Because current and prospective students are attracted to Cal Lutheran for its small class sizes with helpful faculty, your audience is eager to meet the professor. Faculty profiles offer an opportunity to make this first impression and begin a new connection.
If your section of the website includes faculty profiles, this content can be updated through the MyCLU portal and the Control Panel, separate tools that are hosted outside of Omni CMS. Depending on your role, you will use one of these two tools to make updates.
