What is the role of the regional public university in turbulent times?
Let’s Talk at AASCU 2026.
📍 July 13-16, 2026 | New Orleans, LA
Academic leaders are being asked to do more with less, support faculty through rapid change, and build institutional cultures that can sustain both performance and well-being over the long term.
Those are exactly the challenges NCFDD was built to help institutions address.
We’ll be at the 2026 AASCU Summer Meeting for Academic and Student Affairs Leaders and would love to connect with you at our booth.
👋 Meet Us There
Frank Sesso and Allison Van Buren will be on-site and ready to connect. Whether your institution is focused on faculty retention, leadership development, research productivity, or student success, stop by to explore what an NCFDD partnership could make possible for your campus.
📊 Campuses like yours are already seeing results. If your institution isn’t using our resources yet, you could be missing out.

🎯 What We’re Bringing to the Table
This year we’re focused on helping campus leaders strengthen faculty success across the career lifecycle, from early-career productivity to senior leadership development. We’ll be showcasing several of our newest offerings:
- Building Your Publishing Pipeline — Helping faculty organize, prioritize, and advance their research writing projects toward publication
- Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI — Practical strategies for teaching with clarity and sustainability in an AI-shaped classroom
- Rethinking Your Research Funding — Concrete approaches for diversifying and growing research support in a challenging funding climate
We’ll also be sharing how NCFDD is partnering with institutions in new ways through strategic programming roadmaps and institution-specific professional development experiences designed around your campus priorities.
