What the Data Reveals About Faculty Support, Workload, and Institutional Strategy

Join us for a webinar exploring key insights from NCFDD’s State of Faculty Development in 2026 report, based on responses from more than 1,000 faculty and academic leaders.

The findings reveal a growing gap between the rising importance faculty place on professional development and the level of institutional support available. As workloads increase, research funding becomes more uncertain, and AI reshapes teaching and scholarship, faculty expectations and needs are changing quickly.

What You’ll Learn

During this session, we will explore insights from NCFDD’s national survey and discuss:

  • The widening gap between faculty development needs and institutional investment
  • How changing expectations and pressures are reshaping faculty work
  • The types of support faculty say they need most, including writing groups, mentoring networks, and leadership development
  • What institutions can do to better support faculty success and sustainability

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for:

  • Academic leaders and administrators
  • Faculty development professionals
  • Department chairs and deans
  • Faculty interested in understanding current trends in faculty support
