Update your Canvas profile
Be sure to personalize your Canvas profile with your picture, pronouns, and biography so that students can learn a bit more about you as a human. And if you have done this before then it's a good idea to revisit your profile and refresh it to make it current. Remember that your profile is viewable to faculty and students across your Canvas courses, so keep that audience in mind as you make your revisions.
