Watermark Faculty Success
Faculty Success is Minnesota State University’s web-based system, hosted by Watermark, for maintaining faculty activity information that can be used in the Professional Development Report (PDR) process, annual reports, accreditation documents, CVs, biosketches, promotion and tenure materials, grant reporting, and institutional reporting.
The system is intended to reduce duplicate reporting by providing faculty with a single place to enter and update information about their teaching, scholarship, service, and other professional activities. Faculty Success is available any time from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection.
Faculty Success uses the same login information as the faculty member’s MavMail.
