UMass Chan CMS Blog

This block is used to display a list of UMass faculty that exist in Profiles.umassmed.edu. Profiles includes faculty from UMass Chan, Baystate and Lowell campuses. The list can be filtered to display by institution (school), department or division. Other options include setting a limit on how many faculty to display, include pagination or set the sort order to first name, last name, or also group by department or division.
