Teach an Honors Elective: Call for Proposals
No, really. We'd love to hear your ideas about teaching electives in the Honors Program.
We're looking for interesting courses that might be offered multiple times, on a regular basis -- no need to worry about one-off course design. A fully developed syllabus is not needed at this point. We just need some really good ideas.
Please submit your concept proposals, for possible offering in the fall 2016 or spring 2017, by October 30th, to:
honors@augsburg.edu
More details and the application form are available at:
