National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity
Boise State faculty have access to a free account with the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD) and can attend much of their programming at no cost.
As described on their website: “NCFDD provides on-demand access to the mentoring, tools, and support needed to be successful in the Academy. We focus on four key areas that help achieve extraordinary writing and research productivity while maintaining a full and healthy life off campus: strategic planning, explosive productivity, healthy relationships, and work-life balance.”
