Faculty Success
Faculty Success - (formerly Digital Measures)
Winston-Salem state University is using Faculty Success by Watermark for faculty activity reporting, course evaluation solutions, annual evaluation, promotion and tenure, reappointments, and post-tenure review process. Digital Measures Activity Insight module collects and facilitates the curation of faculty work on teaching, research, service as well as publications, presentations, professional development, internal and external service, instructional loads and awards. Faculty upload their data once into Faculty Success, and WSSU can produce activity reports for the purposes of reporting as well as annual departmental and university-wide review.
