Welcome to the Baker Institute's McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation!

This page will get you - our newest team member - started on setting up your own account on the Wiki and navigating its content management prowess.

User Account

User Page

Every McNair staff maintains his own personal wikipage, detailing administrative information and professional/academic background, alongside a short autobiography.

Refer to Dylan's Wikipage for inspiration. Or refer to the comprehensive staff list.

Create your own Wikipage by going to Form:McNair_Staff and filing out the form. On the first page of the form use your Full Name with spaces (like Ed Egan), not your username. Fill out the fields. For the image, upload one (see "Upload file" in the left Wiki sidebar) and just put the name of the file in the box (e.g. YourPic.jpg). Finally go to your user page (click your username at the top of the page), edit that page and include the following line:

#REDIRECT [[Full Name]]

Faculty Members to the McNair Center should also fill out a page. Please use this form Form:McNair_Faculty.

Working with the Wiki

At McNair, the Wiki is both home to developed content in the form of an independent public Wikipage, and developing content that will serve a academic paper, issue brief or blog post in the future. It is the research team's main tool for knwoledge sharing, pooling resources, writing and peer-editing.

To get started,

You should also be creating pages for identified topic areas and to keep track of your projects. Note that anything falling under projects will automatically secured internally and only available to McNair staff and faculty. If you would like a topic page to be secured internally place it under the Category Internal or Projects. If you try to create a page that already exists the form will redirect you to edit that page.

Working with the infrastructure

At McNair, key softwares and hard processing power is made accessible to your personal laptop through the Remote Desktop Connection. Follow link for instructions.

Good luck!
