In a recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Kelli Marshall, Lecturer at DePaul University cautions that "an online search for academics without strong digital identities almost always yields two initial results: first, the name of the institution or department, and, second, their webpage on Rate My Professors. While the latter is not inherently bad news for all academics, many will likely cringe at what's written about them there, whether justified or not." 

A digital identity in academia is important, yet, many people struggle to find time to keep it up to date. A panel of faculty will lead a discussion on the importance of maintaining a digital identity, as well as provide tips, insights, examples, and success stories for managing your digital identity.

Panelists include:

Theodosia Gougousi, Associate Professor, Physics

Jennie Leach, Associate Professor, Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering

Christine Mallinson, Associate Professor, Language, Literacy, and Culture

Renetta Tull, Associate Vice Provost for Graduate Student Development

Lunch will be provided.
