“My experience at Augsburg University helped me to celebrate my gifts, improve my areas of growth, and improve my confidence as a teacher and a human. I would not have become the 2018 Minnesota Teacher of the Year without the guidance, commitment, support, and kindness that I received from the staff and faculty at Augsburg University.”
