The Faculty Success Program offered by NCFDD is a comprehensive 10-week intensive designed to empower faculty members with the skills and strategies needed to enhance their productivity, balance their workload, and achieve academic excellence. Participants benefit from expert-led training, peer support, and personalized academic coaching, gaining valuable insights for their academic journey.
The Faculty Success Program was traditionally open only to tenure-system faculty; however, NCFDD recently expanded this opportunity to include faculty not on the tenure track who are in long-term contracts or permanent positions and have research and publication requirements built into their roles.
