Faculty Development Council (FDC)

This council was formed in 2019 by Academic Affairs and ADVANCE at UNM to coordinate efforts across the campus to build stronger faculty skills, enhance career development, trouble-shoot and eliminate obstacles to faculty success, support department chairs in their administrative roles, and improve consistency of practices and procedures across Academic Affairs. The council organizes a year-round series of New Faculty events, leadership training programs, the Faculty Lightning Lounge (a monthly event of fast presentations on research and teaching innovations), as well as a periodic Chairs’ and Directors’ Colloquium.

National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD) Faculty Success Program

The NCFDD Faculty Success Program is an intensive, 12-week, online program where participants learn strategies to increase their research productivity, gain greater control of their time, and live a full and healthy life beyond campus. The program is designed to transform the personal and professional life of participants.

The program is intended for tenure-track and tenured faculty members who are looking for the perfect combination of empirically tested methods to improve research productivity through intense accountability, coaching, and peer support and to propel their work-life balance and personal growth to a completely new level.

Participation in the NCFDD Faculty Success Program is open to all tenure stream faculty who are active NCFDD Individual and Institutional Members. To become an active member of NCFDD, go to https://www.NCFDD.org
