ELEMENTS
FIVE STAR SUPPORT
We are here to support your success!
Elements is the new streamlined faculty activity reporting tool that will reduce manual data entry and allow faculty and leadership to collect and view data such as research, awards, publications, presentations, teaching innovations, etc. in one location.
