Faculty Activity Reporting System

Welcome to FARS, Western Michigan University's Faculty Activity Reporting System. FARS is a powerful vita-oriented database powered by Interfolio. The system is designed to enable faculty to organize, manage, and report on their annual professional activities and manage their curriculum vitae (CV). It serves as a warehouse for data on faculty achievements, providing easy access to metrics for accreditation, program review, and strategic planning and insights into the research, creative activity, teaching, and service efforts of our faculty.
