If you want to help but aren't sure what to do, here are a list of things that need to be done:
  
−
* 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.
+
* 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.
  
−
* 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. 
+
* 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 [[Ph.D. Prep Track and Doctoral Student Q&A|potential prep track students and doctoral students]].
  
−
* 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.
+
* Answer questions geared towards [[Ph.D. Prep Track and Doctoral Student Q&A|students preparing to get a Ph.D. and doctoral students]].
−
**This still needs to be done for BYU faculty (list where they graduated and where they have taught)
 
−
**This has been finished except for some [[Non Ph.D. Prep Track Faculty who are Friends of BYU]]
 
  
−
* Add any [[Accomplishments and Successes]] to the list.  This is a cool way of celebrating the success of all of us.  
+
* Add your username and update your personal page (go to the [[Main Page]] and find your profile under "People").
  
−
* Help fill out [[Research Interests]] by describing a little about a research area and providing links of people who do that type of research.   
+
* Update [[University Information]].  We want to create a resource including pictures, LDS information, lifestyle information, etc. about all universities.
−
 
 
−
* 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. 
 
  
 +
* Help illustrate what [[Other Topics|a career in academia]] is like.
  
−
These are just a few ideas. Anything else you want to see or do, please feel free!
+
* Help prospective PhD Prep Track students understand how to apply and succeed in the program by populating the [[Ph.D. Prep Track and Doctoral Student Q&A]] page.
