NACEP, the Advanced Credit Program's accrediting body, requires all dual credit adjuncts to attend one professional development workshop every academic year. For this reason, the ACP offers a wide variety of PD workshops each year. A list of this year's professional development workshops will become available as we schedule them.
Adjuncts who participate in these workshops receive one student scholarship (limit of two per academic year). If you have questions, please email Brienna Manore at blmt7g@umsl.edu.

Keynote session: The Frontier of Teaching: The Power of AI in Teaching
This session will explore the role of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing the way we learn, work, and think. In the age of AI, critical thinking skills, information literacy, and a liberal arts education are more important than ever. As AI continues to reshape the nature of work and human thinking, it is vital to equip students and educators with AI literacy skills needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving world.
Dr. Bowen will not only discuss the transformative impact of AI but also demonstrate real-world applications changing the face of teaching. Come away with practical examples of how you can empower yourself and your students with AI literacy skills essential for this new frontier.
