Campus Workshops
NCFDD Campus Workshops are virtual or in-person sessions focused on productivity, mentoring, time management, and writing. These sessions are designed to support faculty at all career stages, from graduate students to senior academic leaders.
Tailored Professional Development for Your Institution
NCFDD Campus Workshops offer institutions the flexibility to choose from a variety of workshop topics and formats, ensuring that the content aligns with their specific needs and goals. Facilitated by NCFDD-trained and certified tenured faculty, these workshops are available in-person and virtually, accommodating participants whether they are on campus or working remotely.
The workshops provide an opportunity to learn and reflect on core training, serving as community-building events where writing groups and support networks can be established. They also serve as an entry point for faculty to access NCFDD’s diverse resources.
Why Campus Workshops?
Many workshops feel disconnected from faculty realities, offering generic advice that doesn’t translate into meaningful change. NCFDD Campus Workshops are different because they are designed by faculty, for faculty—grounded in practical, research-informed strategies that address the unique challenges of academic life. They provide:
- More Effective Teaching Strategies – Use evidence-based methods to improve student learning and classroom dynamics.
- Increased Classroom Confidence – Gain clarity on what works, what doesn’t, and how to adjust for better results.
- Time-Saving Techniques – Learn how to streamline grading, prep time, and administrative tasks while maintaining high teaching quality.
- Better Student Outcomes – Implement new approaches that lead to greater student engagement, participation, and academic success.
- Supportive Faculty Community – Connect with peers facing similar teaching challenges and build a network of support.

“We work to create a suite of programs that support faculty through various partnerships. NCFDD workshops are great to offer half- or full-day workshops for large groups of faculty. We can select topics based on different audiences or topics.
Faculty find it helpful to meet colleagues from across campus and hear about their similar challenges (know they are not alone). I’ve had faculty say they try to attend any NCFDD workshop that is applicable because they want the extra support from our office (Faculty Development) as well as the external partner and resources.“
