Outlook – Put a Face to a Name

In Outlook you can put a face to a name by adding a picture of yourself to your email profile. Many organizations use this for improving customer service and to help staff remember names and identify new staff.  Most professional organizations recommend taking a self-portrait wearing proper attire. Lucky us, we can use the professional picture of our self from the CHWB website!

Instructions:

Go to your department staff page on the CHWB website:

Admin:                                 https://www.uvm.edu/uvmweb/chwb/administrative_staff

Athletic Med:                      https://uvmathletics.com/sports/2015/8/13/athmed_0813151030.aspx

CAPS:                                   https://www.uvm.edu/health/counseling-and-psychiatry-staff

Living Well:                         https://www.uvm.edu/health/living-well-staff

SHS:                                      https://www.uvm.edu/health/student-health-services-staff

Then right click the picture and save the image somewhere on your computer where you can find it.

Next open Outlook and go to People. Search for your name in contacts and double click on the blank person icon in your contact (example below):

blankman

Navigate to your picture and click Ok. That’s it!
