Faculty Success Guide
Welcome to Faculty Success!
What is Faculty Success and why use it?
Faculty Success is the software for the Faculty Activities Database (FAD) developed by Faculty Success by Watermark, which allows faculty to document their accomplishments and professional activities and generate reports. It can also be used to create “Workflows”, which has become our primary means for Faculty Applications, Evaluations, as well as Promotion and Tenure applications.
As we digitize more of our administrative record keeping, Faculty Success Activity Insight (FSAI) offers a platform in which to permanently store faculty information. Once faculty activity information has been entered into Activity Insight, it never again needs to be re-entered. This information can be used to generate reports for all stakeholders from the faculty member his/herself to academic leaders (e.g., department chairs, deans, etc.). Faculty never again need to be asked on a ‘one-off’ basis for information for every individual report that needs to be prepared such as for accreditation, annual merit appraisals and media surveys.
Faculty can use FS to:
- Maintain archival history of faculty accomplishments
- Use information in FS to create TPR dossiers, annual activity reports, and program review documents
- Manage CVs, including output options for NIH and NSF bio sketches
- Make existing data collection reporting more efficient
- Easily access activity data in one place to maintain and generate many reports
Administrators can use FS to:
- Use for electronic processing of TPR reviews
- Generate reports for assessment and program review
- Generate customized reports for accreditation
- Provide better publicizing of faculty accomplishments
- Maintain archival history of faculty accomplishments
