Profiles @ St. Kate's

Profiles @ St. Kate's is a module of the research information management tool for St. Catherine University that records research, scholarly, creative, and quality improvement data for our faculty and key academic and research staff.

What is Profiles @ St. Kate's

Profiles @ St. Kate's is a module of the research information management tool (Pure) for St. Catherine University.  It uses University records and publication data harvested from third party aggregators to create public profiles for faculty and key academic and research staff.  These profiles also create the 'Meet the Faculty' profiles on the University website.  Because the automated and centrally managed profile may not tell your whole story, you can add publication information from other sources, research statement, media mentions, and other information about who you are as a scholar, creator, and educator.

It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure your profile is up to date and reflects your scholarship and activities.  A bi-annual maintenance of core information including adding new and updating existing profiles will be handled by the Deans' offices.
