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.
