The college is launching a new system this fall for faculty to report and catalog their activities. The cloud-based system is called Faculty Success and will initially be used to generate the annual CALS Faculty Activity Reports (FAR) which are used for performance evaluation, merit raises, and post-tenure reviews.

Faculty Success, a product of Watermark (formerly known as Digital Measures), is a modern tool for faculty members to keep track of and report on annual activities, including research, instruction, Extension and outreach, mentorship, and service activities.

Each faculty member will be responsible for entering and managing their own data. For the first year, faculty will be asked to enter their activities for calendar year 2024 (though individuals can choose to enter more historic data). Data entry must be completed by Monday, January 13, 2025.

Current CALS faculty members can login to Faculty Success by clicking here or using the short link go.wisc.edu/calsfs. Login with your NetID and password, and authenticate via Duo like you do with many other applications every day.

Training materials and resources can be found at admin.cals.wisc.edu/offices/hr/facultysuccess.
