Because of the temporary reduction in full-time faculty professional development funds allocated to Augsburg’s Faculty Development Program (aka CTL), the Program has created a grant review procedure and policy to ensure equitable funding for 2022-2023. (see link to full policy on the CTL website below)
The biggest change for faculty are the new application deadlines. To ensure
equitable distribution of grant funding, the FDC will be reviewing grants in bulk four times during the year. The deadline for your grant application depends primarily on WHEN you will be traveling/having expenses. Please note that you may submit a grant application at any time before your preferred deadline; however grants will not be reviewed until the deadline closes.
Round 2 Deadline: July 1, 2022 (for travel/expenses Sep – Nov 2022)
Round 3 Deadline: October 1, 2022 (for travel/expenses Dec 2022 – Feb 2023)
Round 4 Deadline: January 1, 2023 (for travel/expenses Mar – May 2023)
There is additional and more specific information on the CTL website (see link below) which should answer most of your questions! Please contact CTL (ctl@augsburg.edu) if you have any questions about this temporary policy or would like more information.

The Center for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) is very excited to be hosting both virtual and in-person week-long workshops for Advanced Placement (AP) teachers this summer. These Advanced Placement Summer Institutes (APSI) help teachers learn about the AP curriculum. The APSI at has taken many forms and has been run at Augsburg for more than 25 years!
We currently have more than 370 teachers participating in 18 different VIRTUAL workshops this week.
The week of June 27-30, we are excited to welcome 95 teachers to campus in 12 different AP subjects. While this is a smaller group than we had last time we were on campus (2019), it is exciting to be back in place with the teachers on campus! These 95 teachers will be coming from 21 different states and countries with the furthest people travelling from Kuwait and Nigeria.
We are also preparing for the second VIRTUAL APSI the week of July 11-15. This APSI currently has more than 300 teachers registered in 22 different workshops. We anticipate the size of this APSI to grow as we enter into July.
In total over the three APSIs, we will be welcoming close to 800 people to Augsburg this summer (both virtually and in-person). They are currently “visiting” us from 28 different countries and 47 states/territories. If you would like to learn more about the APSI, we invite you to check out our website or email us at apsi@augsburg.edu.

The Center for Adult and Continuing Education is very excited to be welcoming Advanced Placement (AP) teachers back to campus during the week of June 27 – June 30. These 95 teachers will be participating in 12 different AP workshops. While this is a smaller group than we last hosted back in 2019, they are geographically diverse. They are coming from 18 different states/territories and 3 different countries.
These teachers will be on campus for the week learning about their individual AP subject. All of their classes will be taking place in Hagfors, so if you see someone who might be looking for the “APSI” (Advanced Placement Summer Institute), please feel free to direct them to Hagfors.
There are a number of campus partners who have helped make this a success in planning. We would like to thank everyone who has assisted us up to this point, and we hope you know how much we appreciate you!
If you want to learn more about the APSI at Augsburg, we invite you to explore our website. You can also click on the registration links on the right side of the screen to see our different event pages. If you have questions about the APSI, we invite you to email us at apsi@augsburg.edu.
