Example:
Curriculum Vitae
Your Curriculum Vitae or “CV” is attached to your profile as a PDF file. If you don’t already have a CV uploaded, click on the Add a file link under the Curriculum Vitae section.
Click on the Upload file button and select your CV .pdf file. Make sure you click Save this file after it has been uploaded.
If you would like to replace your CV, click the X icon next to your current CV and then click Add a file and follow the previous steps to add an updated CV file.
Profile Image
Please note: Your default profile image should be ideally at least 1000px * 1000px for optimum display at various sizes on the responsive profile pages.
You can update your default profile image by clicking on the thumbnail to the left of your name (if there is an existing image already, please remove it first by clicking on the gear icon and selecting remove thumbnail, or your new image might not show up).
On the window that pops up, select upload image to upload an image from your personal files to the profile page. Add your name in the text area to the right of the image preview so that the image has correct alt text for accessibility purposes.
If you would like your default shared profile image updated throughout the site, please email us at itsweb@law.upenn.edu and we will update it for you.
