Policies

Faculty data at samueli.ucla.edu are SHARED by all HSSEAS departments.
Leave the content responsibility to the primary Engineering department (unless there is an agreement to collaborate), but please notify the primary department of any necessary update when you stumble across it. (We are one big team here as far as the outside world is concerned, so please think in term of teamwork and the ultimate goal of presenting the most accurate and impressive Engineering Faculty Directory to the world.)
Limited capacity: Some faculty and staff who is requested by faculty can maintain only the assigned faculty's data.
If you need to maintain the faculty data, but don't have an access, submit a request to the SEASnet helpdesk and ask for "custom_people" capability under samueli.ucla.edu. SEASnet will first confirm with External Affairs.
Photos: leave the featured images and hero images to External Affairs
