It’s hard to keep track of faculty activity.

Without the right tools, it’s difficult to understand how your faculty contributes, who’s succeeding, and who needs more support. In an increasingly competitive and resource-constrained environment, you need to be able to make well-informed strategic decisions and emphasize the right areas for growth among your faculty.

Our goal is to make all of this easier. Our tools help you measure performance and facilitate growth by engaging faculty members in processes like annual reviews, promotion, and tenure. Ensure compliance with personnel policies and promote faculty achievements to readily demonstrate their impact. With Watermark, you can effortlessly bring faculty forward.
