- As with all sections in people listings, a proper heading will automatically appear on the page above the text you enter into it.

Headings can be accessed from the drop down menu showing "Paragraph" below.
- Content added here should be text-based. Please consult with the Maxwell Communications office (maxcomms@syr.edu) if you would like your faculty page to include extra photos, audio or video files.
- If linking to content outside of the Maxwell School's web site please have the links open up in a new window.
