Wayfinder content updates
Vick Center staff, in particular Haleemah Shajira (haleemah.shajira@austin.utexas.edu), will take care of updating major, minor, and certificate content. Typically, this is done in the summer, by reaching out to all of the faculty who oversee the programs and having them take a look at the Wayfinder pages and see if there are any edits that need to be made. For reference or if Vick staff have questions, you can find a full set of instructions here.
DRUPAL
What is Drupal?
Drupal is the content management system (CMS) that the staff use to edit the UGS website. Staff will send their desired edits to us through the UGS CMS Admin listserv, and we can publish their edits by reading the draft, ensuring that it follows all the style guidelines, and then going over to the moderate tab and publishing. You can sign in to Drupal with your EID and password. There is also a Drupal Cheat Sheet page that has some tips and tricks for making edits.
