Teaching professors of all ranks are encouraged to apply for the four-week summer Teaching Toolkit Program offered by the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD). This program is especially designed for faculty who are relatively new to teaching or who are returning to the classroom after a hiatus. Applications are due Monday, April 7. 

This program supports faculty in teaching more efficiently and effectively, helping them reclaim time and energy for a healthier work-life balance. This online program runs from Monday, July 7, through Sunday, Aug. 3. More information about the Teaching Toolkit Program is available online.

The program costs $495 per person, but a limited number of full scholarships are available through the office of faculty affairs. Applications for fully funded scholarships for the summer 2025 Teaching Toolkit Program are now being accepted.
