Know Your Faculty

🌿 Redefining the Modern Guru — Inspired by Guru Nanak Dev Ji 🌿 As we carry forward the light of Guru Nanak Jayanti, we reflect on what it truly means to be a guru in today’s world. “Truth is high, but higher still is truthful living.” — Guru Nanak Dev Ji A guru is not just someone who teaches — but one who leads through authenticity, service, and purpose. In that spirit, Know Your Faculty celebrates today’s educators — the modern-day torchbearers of wisdom who continue Guru Nanak’s legacy by spreading knowledge selflessly and shaping generations with integrity. Our mission is simple — to help every academician own their voice, presence, and digital identity through a single-page website that reflects their truth, purpose, and contribution. Because your name is more than a designation — It’s your light, your legacy, and your brand. ✨ Inspired by Guru Nanak Ji’s message of truthful living and selfless service, we honour every educator building a legacy of wisdom.

What opportunities are invisible professors missing? - In today’s digital age, online visibility is critical for academic success. Here’s what faculty risk by being invisible online: - As per Symplectic, over 60% of research collaborations now start through active online faculty profiles, meaning invisible professors miss out on key joint projects. - DigitalCommons at University of Nebraska-Lincoln stats that more than 70% of students rely on online faculty profiles to seek mentorship and choose courses—without visibility, mentorship opportunities diminish. - AACSB also states that professors with digital portfolios receive 2–3 times more industry connections for consulting, speaking, and collaborations than those listed only on institutional sites. - Faculty with a strong online presence gain up to 40% more citations and broader recognition due to enhanced discoverability. Digital presence is not about vanity—it's essential for expanding your impact, network, and opportunities.

Did you know students spend more than 15 minutes researching faculty profiles before choosing their courses? In today’s digital era, students want more than a syllabus—they’re looking for professors who inspire, mentor, and offer real-world impact. Student choices are driven by: - Professor credentials, research, and teaching style. - Reviews, testimonials, and academic achievements. - Publications, conference talks, and open educational materials. - Presence across Google Scholar, LinkedIn, ORCID, and university portals. Key stats: - On average, students spend 15–30 minutes comparing faculty backgrounds for their shortlisted courses. - 70% of students say a faculty member’s online presence and accessibility influence their enrolment decisions. - 60% use online platforms and social media to check professors’ research interests before registering. The impact? Professors with curated websites and research profiles attract higher student interest—and foster stronger mentorship and collaboration. Question for you: 1. How much time do you spend researching professors before making your academic choices? 2. What matters most when selecting a course or mentor? #StudentPerspective #AcademicChoices #DigitalEducation #KnowYourFaculty #FacultyProfiles #CourseSelection

LinkedIn is great for making academic connections—but is it enough to showcase your entire professional identity? While LinkedIn connects you with peers and opens networking doors, your own website is essential as the definitive, always-accessible repository of all your achievements—on your terms. Why a website is indispensable for academic professionals: 🔸Acts as a centralized hub for your complete academic story—CV, research, lectures, awards, books, articles, and more. 🔸Hosts all your social media and research links, from LinkedIn, Google Scholar, ORCID, and ResearchGate to YouTube, podcasts, and media interviews. 🔸Lets you feature portfolio items, syllabi, presentations, downloadable resources, and even a contact form for speaking or project invitations. 🔸Offers customization far beyond LinkedIn, so you control layout, branding, and visitor experience. 🔸Increases your discoverability via search engines, making it easier for students, collaborators, and media to find you and your work. Think of LinkedIn as a dynamic social layer, but your website as the permanent digital home for your academic impact. How have you used your personal website (if you have one) to showcase achievements that don’t fit on LinkedIn?
