  • Biography pages are added by the digital media specialist from the Research and Innovations Marketing and Communications team after a notice from Research and Innovation Human Resources is received and is completed within three days of the official start date of the employee. 
  • Biography page deletions work in a similar fashion, with the page being deleted on the separation date noted by Human Resources.
