College of Education graduate students now have the capability to update their profiles that appear on the College of Education website. Your contact information that appears in the UT Directory will be brought over by default. It is up to you to add additional information such as your areas of interests, bio, achievements, CV, and photo. Please note that the college website follows AP Style, so we encourage you to keep these guidelines in mind as you draft your bio. We also encourage you to have someone else proof your bio before you upload it.
