William & Mary holds an Institutional Membership with the NCFDD. This nationally recognized, independent organization provides online career development and mentoring resources for faculty, post-docs, and graduate students from over 450 colleges and universities. The NCFDD resources apply across academic disciplines and career stages. Relevant training for different stages of a faculty career is highlighted in the Career Pathways [put in link when this gets live] part of the Faculty Affairs website. Topics include time management, overcoming academic perfectionism, how to develop a daily writing plan, how to write a grant proposal, and more. These resources are provided by trained NCFDD mentors and offer a confidential area for resources to help in problem solving that is available and accessible online.
In addition to the resources available to you as an Institutional Member, NCFDD also offers professional development training, intensive mentoring programs, and support needed to succeed in the academy. Members receive a weekly motivational email (the Monday Motivator) and access to the complete NCFDD Core Curriculum, guest expert webinars, intensive multi-week courses facilitated by national experts, a private discussion forum, monthly writing challenges, and the opportunity to connect with a writing accountability partner.
