During the 2006-2007 academic year, thanks to a generous grant from VITAL, the VCLE hosted a series of five (5) faculty development workshops geared toward (re-)introducing materials and techniques helpful for teaching Augustine and his thought in ACS-1000 (ACS: Traditions in Conversations) as well as integrating central Augustinian Themes into ACS-1001 (ACS: Modernity and Its Discontents).
