Introducing the New Faculty Experience: Simplified, Streamlined, and Built for Faculty

The redesigned faculty experience officially launched for all institutions on November 2, 2026. Designed collaboratively with and for faculty, this updated interface streamlines daily workflows and makes routine tasks effortless. 

What’s New for Faculty?

The transition to the new faculty experience is driven by a commitment to usability and efficiency. By reorganizing navigation and grouping related tasks, the updated interface reduces the number of clicks required to manage your profile and provides a clearer, more comprehensive overview of your professional accomplishments:

  • From Activities to “My Profile”: My Profile replaces the traditional Activities screen with a continuous narrative view of achievements, simplifying the process of documenting teaching, scholarship, and service.

  • Quick “Add Activity” Access: Capturing accomplishments is faster than ever with a dedicated Add Activity button available directly from both Home and My Profile.

  • Guided, Time-Sensitive Tasks: Home provides a shortcut to review tasks waiting in their inbox, as well as proactive publication search results ready for their review.

  • Clear Value for Faculty: Beyond meeting institutional reporting and accreditation needs, the streamlined layout ensures faculty spend less time documenting and more time leveraging their own data for tailored CV exports, and reflecting on their accomplishments and goals for their reviews, whether it's an annual review, promotion review, or tenure review.
