Spring 2026 Staff/Faculty Directory Photoshoot (Feb. 9)

January 16, 2026

Are you a new or current faculty or staff member who has not yet had their professional headshot taken for the UP Directory?

Has it been more than three years since you last took a directory photo at UP?

The Department of Marketing and Web Services will be hosting a Staff/Faculty Directory Photoshoot on Monday, February 9, 2026 from 11:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

The photo will be a headshot only. It will be used for the faculty/staff directory as well as in your Microsoft profile. These photos will be available to you for additional personal and professional uses.

You can sign-up to take your faculty/staff directory photo here! (select “jump to the next bookable date”)

*** If you know of any new staff or faculty members that will be arriving on campus, we encourage you to reach out and proactively schedule a time for them to take their Directory photo. ***

Detailed Instructions:

Each individual photo session is scheduled for 5 minutes. We recommend arriving photo ready as we will not have any hair tools, make-up or clothing on site.

We ask that you arrive at your scheduled time. This helps us avoid any long waiting times. If the scheduled time does not work for you, please reach out to me. I am happy to reschedule. When you arrive check in with me in the lobby. I will be standing at the podium outside the entrance to Room 301.

Please note: These photos are a complementary service provided to staff and faculty by the Marketing & External Web Services Department. In order for us to be able to continue offering this service staff and faculty are limited to one photoshoot opportunity every three years.

If you have any questions or changes to your schedule, please reach out to Dhara Brown.
