About NCFDD at UMN
Following a successful roll-out of the NCFDD at the Twin Cities campus—during which more than 1,000 people signed up within the first year—all University of Minnesota campuses now have access to this resource.
This initiative is sponsored through a partnership of the Provost's Office, the Office of Equity and Diversity, and the Graduate School, and is in cooperation with chancellors and vice chancellors throughout the system.
