You can find more information about NCFDD on the PSU National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity webpage including instructions on how to activate your PSU sponsored membership. Once you complete the registration process and receive the “welcome email” from NCFDD, you can register for upcoming trainings and review the webinar library for recordings of past trainings. We’re excited to offer our faculty, postdocs, and graduate students the opportunity to participate in NCFDD’s unique form of mentoring and career development.
