In Quercus, you can enhance/be creative with your profile page, since it is not your official personal information profile with the University of Toronto.  (That information is found on ACORN.  For help using ACORN, see ACORN Help How-to).  As such, feel free to add a biography and relevant personal links.

HOWEVER!  REMEMBER THAT…
All users in your Quercus courses can view your Quercus profile information, and thus professionalism is still of utmost importance!  (Also see How do I edit my profile in my user account as a student?)
