National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity
NCFDD provides skills and strategies intended to help RIT faculty, post docs, and graduate students thrive in academic life.
They offer a variety of professional development and training opportunities, including mentoring, webinars, multi-week courses, 14-day writing challenges, private discussion forums with moderated monthly writing challenges, dissertation success curriculum and discussion forum for advanced graduate students, and priority registration for the faculty success program. RIT is an institutional member of the NCFDD, so the service is free for RIT faculty, post docs, and graduate students.
