Theme: Rising to the Moment

📍November 9–11, 2025 | Philadelphia, PA

We’re excited to share that NCFDD will be attending the 2025 APLU Annual Meeting!

This year’s conference theme, “Rising to the Moment,” celebrates the bold leadership and innovative spirit of public and land-grant universities as they adapt to meet extraordinary challenges and opportunities. The APLU Annual Meeting convenes senior higher education leaders for three days of meaningful discussion, collaboration, and strategic networking focused on advancing the education, research, and engagement missions of public universities.

As proud partners in faculty development and institutional transformation, NCFDD looks forward to connecting with university leaders to explore how our resources can help institutions:

  • Strengthen research and mentorship cultures
  • Support faculty success and retention
  • Equip faculty to navigate change with confidence and purpose

Stop by booth #11 to learn how NCFDD can support your institution’s goals and empower your faculty to thrive. Together, we can continue to elevate higher education and ensure its lasting impact on students, communities, and the world.

We can’t wait to see you in Philadelphia as we rise to the moment – together.

  • Build momentum – despite budget cuts, resistance, and burnout

You don’t need more initiatives. You need programs that actually work, and we can show you how.
