As a DePaul faculty, staff or student employee, you can make changes to the information that shows up in the Outlook Address book, including: your title, department, office location, and phone number. You can also change the photo that is displayed in the DePaul HR system, on your 365 app profiles in Microsoft Outlook and Teams, and in many other apps that use your BlueKey account for sign-in. These profile photos are synced so you can only set one photo across all of them. You have the option to display your DePaul ID photo, a custom photo, or no photo.
