People is Wright State University's online directory and professional profile system. It allows faculty, staff, and students to maintain a professional profile that can include a biography, research, publications, education, professional interests, and more.
Use the information below to learn how People works, who can use it, and where to find help managing your profile.

- Log in to your profile
- Add or update your profile photo
- Edit your introduction and biography
- Add education, research, publications, and other professional information
- Add custom text sections

Who can use People?
Faculty, staff, and students with an active Wright State account who are listed in the university directory can log in and manage their profile.
If your directory information has been suppressed through Human Resources or the Registrar, you may not have a publicly available profile.
How did my information get here?
Some information on your profile is provided automatically through the university's official employee or student records. This may include your name, department, job title, email address, and other contact information.
Additional information, such as your biography, profile photo, education, research, or publications, may be added and updated by you, your department, or someone you have authorized to manage your profile.
Who can see my profile?
People profiles are publicly available and may be viewed by anyone using the university directory or visiting your profile directly.
Only add information, files, and links that you are comfortable sharing publicly.
What information can I update?
You can update most of the professional content on your profile, including:
- Profile photo
- Introduction and biography
- Education
- Professional experience
- Teaching
- Research
- Publications and presentations
- Awards and honors
- Professional affiliations
- Service
- Curriculum vitae (CV)
- Links to professional websites and resources
- Other custom profile content
See Managing Your Profile for complete instructions.
How do I update official directory information?
Some information displayed on your People profile comes from the university's official employee or student records. Because this information is managed by Human Resources or the Registrar, it cannot be updated through your profile or by the Web Strategy Team.
This information may include:
- Name
- Job title
- Department
- Phone number
- Office location
- Campus address
- Email address
- Other official directory information
Employee information
To request updates to employee directory information, contact Human Resources at human_resources@wright.edu.
If you only need to update your phone number or campus address, you may also submit the Directory Updates form.
Student information
Students who need to update or suppress official directory information should contact Enrollment Services.
Once information is updated in the university's official records, it will automatically appear on your People profile and other university websites. The Web Strategy Team cannot manually override information provided by these systems.
For more information, see Managing Your Profile.
Can someone else update my profile?
Yes. You can authorize another Wright State user to manage your profile by assigning them as a Profile Curator.
Profile curators can update your professional information on your behalf. Only assign people who are authorized to manage your profile content.
See Managing Your Profile for instructions.
Is my information secure?
You must log in using your Wright State credentials before you can edit a profile. Your password and W username are never displayed publicly.
Remember that the information you add to your profile is intended for a public website. Do not publish private, confidential, or sensitive personal information.
Get help
If you have questions, experience a problem, or need help managing your profile, select Web Support at the bottom of this page.
When submitting a request, include your name, a link to the profile, and a description of the problem or requested change. If applicable, include a screenshot of the issue or error message.
Do not include your Wright State password or other sensitive information in a support request.
