How do I update the contact information for my site?

The Contact box appears on every page of the site, and provides site visitors with an easy way to obtain more information. The Office of Communications & Marketing (engin-web@umich.edu) can provide images for each Contact person. If no image of the Contact person is uploaded or available, a default image of the Lurie Engineering Center will appear. The Contact person may be overridden individually for each page, although the default will be the site Contact person:
