We will be welcoming 210 Advanced Placement (AP) high school teachers to campus Tuesday, June 18 through Friday, June 21. They will be participating in one of thirteen workshops for the entirety of the week. We have hired College Board endorsed consultants to teach these courses. They will be starting off in Sateren on Tuesday morning at 8:30 am, and the classes will run in Hagfors and OGC for the entirety of the week. They will also be eating lunch on campus in the dining hall each day. On Friday, June 21, we will welcome another 30 AP Coordinators who will be in a workshop from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm in the Marshall Room. During the week, there will be an opportunity for them to take campus tours with one of our Admission Ambassadors, meet some Augsburg faculty and staff, and also go to a workshop with Robert Gould on “Writing Effective Letters of Recommendation”.
The teachers will be coming from 17 states and 3 countries. There will be more than 150 school districts represented throughout the week. 130 teachers are from MN! This is a great opportunity to showcase Augsburg University and raise Augsburg’s profile with teachers who are working with exceptional students. Please help make them feel welcomed while they are on campus.
