* Contribute to the Featured Article section.

* Help fill out [[[[What is accounting research?#Accounting Research Topical Areas]]]] by describing a little about a research area and providing links of people who do that type of research.  Also, you can add information about [[Research|research-related questions]] for potential prep track students, current doctoral students, and faculty members.
** What do you envision the "featured article section" to be like?

* Add any [[Non Ph.D. Prep Track Faculty who are Friends of BYU]] to the list and provide a link to their website.
 
* For all [[Past Ph.D. Prep Track Students ]] and [[Non Ph.D. Prep Track Faculty who are Friends of BYU]] who have an external website, we don't need to recreate their webpage, instead we need to develop an attractive webpage with basic information that won't change and then link to their webpage.  I think it would be great to include information such as where they graduated from, their research interests, a picture, and other basic information in addition to the link to their page. 
 
* On the [[University Information]] pages, it would be helpful to provide information about who has been where so people interested in a particular school know who to contact to find out more.  Updating who has been where would be very helpful.  It would also be helpful to provide information about the school.  See for example [[Indiana University]] or [[University of Arizona]] for one way of doing this.
 
* Add any [[Accomplishments and Successes]] to the list.  This is a cool way of celebrating the success of all of us.
 
* Help fill out [[Research Interests]] by describing a little about a research area and providing links of people who do that type of research.   
 
 
* Help answer (or post on [[What else do you want to see on the site?]]) questions about being a student or faculty member for others to learn about.  This will be very helpful to those who are trying to decide whether or not to get a PhD.

These are just a few ideas. Anything else you want to see or do, please feel free!

If you want to help but aren't sure what to do, here are a list of things that need to be done:

  • Help answer (or post on What else do you want to see on the site?) questions about being a student or faculty member for others to learn about. This will be very helpful to those who are trying to decide whether or not to get a PhD.
  • Post questions that students thinking of getting into the Ph.D. prep program ask. This website could be a resource to those at BYU thinking of getting involved in the prep track. Those questions can go on the informational page for potential prep track students and doctoral students.
  • Add your username and update your personal page (go to the Main Page and find your profile under "People").
  • Update University Information. We want to create a resource including pictures, LDS information, lifestyle information, etc. about all universities.
