Creating a team member

Prerequisites

You must be signed into your SFU account and have access to AEM in order to make changes. If you do not have access, please contact Andy to request access.

Have these details for the team member ready to fill in the page:

  • Name
  • What they do (i.e. Political Science professor @ SFU)
  • Bio (paragraph or two about their work/research)
  • Contact Information (i.e. LinkedIn profile, email)
  • Headshot photo (square, 1:1 ratio, at least 500px x 500px)

Copy the template

In AEM, navigate to the CERG Team page and copy the Team Member Template.

Editing the event summary

Add their contact information

Simply edit the red box on the left side of the page to add at least one contact detail for the team member. This can be a LinkedIn profile, email address, or any other relevant contact information.

Change order of team members
