Key Benefits

The Faculty Portfolio system summarizes details about faculty accomplishments in a useful, consistent, and sharable manner. The key benefits of a digital platform include:

  • An intuitive interface that makes it easy for faculty (or designees) to enter information into the system and update it instantaneously. 
  • An integrated platform, which imports:
    • Publications from databases like Scopus and Web of Science with citations adhering to disciplinary style guides
    • Scheduled teaching information from PeopleSoft
    • Course feedback results
  • Customized fields and workflows consistent with school/college policies and practices.
  • Artifacts of faculty work can be stored, such as publications, presentations, grant award letters, and audio and video recordings of performances;  CVs can be created for different purposes; and web profiles can be updated with minimal effort.
  • Curriculum vitae (CVs), recent publications, grant applications, collaborations, promotion and tenure documents, accreditation reports, and online profile summaries for annual school/college, departmental, and University-wide review can be generated, assuring a more equitable effort. Reports support the recognition of faculty accomplishments and impact and can be used in strategic planning and program assessment.
  • Access to the system, data, and tenure & promotion documents is restricted by roles; permissions are verified by NetID/single sign-on. Faculty have access to their account whereby they can update or modify the information. Only the department representative for Faculty Success will have access to information from the department.
  • Secured system matches current faculty workflows and processes such as annual CV update, promotion and tenure, and reporting, including required accreditation reports. Configurable CVs or bio-sketches are available for various purposes.
