NCFDD

NCFDD Logo

Through Bowling Green State University’s institutional membership, all faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars have access to the NCFDD, which provides professional development, training, and mentoring activities. NCFDD resources are broadly applicable across academic disciplines and include a range of topics such as time management, overcoming academic perfectionism, how to develop a daily writing plan, how to write grant proposals, and more. These resources are provided by trained NCFDD mentors and offer a confidential area for problem solving which is available and accessible online. The NCFDD is dedicated to faculty success throughout a career lifespan and is an excellent resource for support, for increasing productivity, for learning effective time management, and for living a balanced and healthy life.

  • Weekly Monday Motivator
  • Monthly webinars
  • Access to their Multi-Week Courses
  • Audio, slides and transcripts of all workshops and webinars so members can learn at their convenience
  • Private Discussion Forum for peer-mentoring and problem solving
  • Moderated writing challenges
  • Access to their Member Library, which includes workshop materials, referrals, and readings
