Faculty Profiles
Full-time faculty members are encouraged to set up an online faculty profile that highlights their experience, research interests, accomplishments, and curriculum. It is vital to keep your profile up to date since it is used by students, as well as administration, the Office of Public Affairs, and the media to identify specialists and spokespersons.

Access the Faculty Profile Manager via the eCampus Services tab. View our Help/FAQs for directions and advice. For additional information, please email the fcpe@adelphi.

You can also access the Faculty Profile Manager at www.adelphi.edu/faculty/profiles/manage and log in with your universal username and password.
