Starting in Fall 2023, faculty will use Faculty Success by Watermark to build their portfolios. Tenure-track faculty new to Northeastern in their first, second, third, and fourth years, as well as those for Full Professor or Professional Advancement Increase, will be required to use Faculty Success.
Faculty Success has two modules to streamline the process.
The first module, Faculty Success Accomplishments, will allow faculty to continually build their accomplishments without having to wait for a 'portfolio' or 'template' to be set up each year. Benefits of using this tool include:
No more tables that have to be manually created
Courses will be auto-populated by Faculty Success admins
Course Evaluation Results (with those with seven or more students) will be auto-populated at the end of each semester
All information is entered using a form-like tool similar to a Google Form
The second module is called Faculty Success RPT (Reviews, Promotion and Tenure). This module is deployed to a subset of faculty who are pursuing promotion, tenure, or retention. It opens the process for writing narratives for each area: teaching, research, and service.
Faculty needing assistance in using the tool can email CTL at ctl@neiu.edu.
During these first two years of implementing this application, numerous training sessions will be conducted for faculty working within the application as well as all the different stages of reviewers to be knowledgeable about the system. Zoom links will be provided via email calendar invitations based on individuals who are directly affected by this change; for example, if you are a first- or second-year faculty member, you will get a Zoom invitation for that session.
Please attempt to RSVP to Nmail calendar invitations so we can determine participation. All sessions will be conducted via Zoom. Each session will remain open for 15 minutes; however, if no one joins, the session will be concluded for the day.
