Get design tips from Jason and get started using WordPress to make a blog or static website to showcase your graduate or postdoctoral work!

This event has two sessions: Oct 17, 1:30-3:00 p.m. in Graduate Student Commons, Study Lounge 204, or Nov 6, 12:00-1:30 p.m. via Zoom. Register below to attend either session.

Jason Chafin graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 1993 with a bachelor’s in environmental studies. He earned his master of environmental studies from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, and spent over a decade as an environmental planner. He switched gears in 2010 and became a web developer, working primarily with WordPress. He’s been with University Relations as the senior web developer in the Communications and Marketing Department since 2017.

This event is a Graduate Division Professional Development Event co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute as part of our PhD+ workshop series. The Division of Graduate Studies’ workshops are for current UC Santa Cruz graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and require an active UC Santa Cruz email address.
