Road Scholar Tour

Winner of the 2001 Circle of Excellence for Communications Programs

The annual Michigan Road Scholars tour is funded by the Office of the Vice President for Government Relations.

Tour planning and staffing come from the State Outreach Office within the Office of the Vice President for Government Relations.

A faculty Advisory Committee assists in developing application criteria, selecting faculty participants, and providing guidance regarding sites to be visited and topics to be addressed on the tour.

The State Outreach staff reports to Vice President Cynthia Wilbanks. Staff includes Associate Directors Richard Carter and Dana Sitzler, Director of the Lansing Service Center Veronica Johnson, and Web Designer Associate Linda Scharer. Dana Sitzler is Project Manager of the Michigan Road Scholar Tour.

Goals of the tour:

• Develop among faculty an awareness of the state's distinctive geography, economy, culture, government and politics, history, educational systems, health and social issues.
• Learn about the communities that a majority of our students call home.
• Encourage service to the public and research to address state problems.
• Show how the University of Michigan is connected to the entire state.
• Introduce faculty to the Michigan some of them might otherwise never see.
• Promote interaction among faculty across the disciplines.
