Task: This article provides the steps to add web addresses, social media, and other links to myElements.
Instructions:
Web addresses, social media sites as well as links to files within OneDrive can be added to your profile in myElements. Adding this information to myElements will enable them to show publicly in your faculty profile on the college websites as well as findscholars.
