Dear APSE members,

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the APSE School of Excellence (APSE SoE). This initiative aims to offer unique learning opportunities for the pavement science and engineering (PS&E) community in multi-disciplinary areas. This is a unique opportunity for the participants to gain knowledge in exciting research areas, network with potential collaborators, and use the information to develop advanced courses in academic programs. 

One or multiple groups can join efforts to develop a proposal for organizing APSE SoE. The process, guidelines, and content of the proposals can be found here.  In addition, we will soon have an open session with APSE officers to answer questions from the community. 

• Call for Proposals – September 26, 2022

• Hold a Session to Explain the SoE – Date to be announced

• Proposals Due – December 2, 2022

• Selection of APSE SoE Course and Location – January 8 (During the APSE Annual Meeting at TRB 2023)

Interested groups should submit their proposals by email to (admin@pavementsacademy.onmicrosoft.com) with email subject “APSE School of Excellence (APSE SoE)”.

APSE looks forward to receiving your proposals and for your participation in this initiative.

Yours sincerely, 

Dr. Eyad Masad
