Working in Watermark Faculty Success to submit your 2025 FAAR: New developments

When entering activity information in Watermark Faculty Success, there are several new developments that may be helpful to you this Faculty Annual Activity Report (FAAR) season. There are new “Additional Documentation” file upload fields in over 15 activity areas.

In the areas of Publications; Presentations; Contracts, Fellowships, Grants and Sponsored Research; Intellectual Property; Research Activity; and Exhibits and Performances, the “People at WSU” fields are no longer linked, meaning each scholar will enter their own data in the best possible way to express their unique contribution in collaborative work.

There is a new program view being phased in by Watermark. This will not be a permanent switch until late spring of 2026, but you may wish to become familiar with the new look.
