Faculty and Staff

It's not too late for new faculty to join the Road Scholars tour

Registrations still are being accepted from new and newly tenured faculty for the 11th annual Road Scholars Tour. The tour, scheduled for May 8-10, is designed to give new and newly tenured faculty the opportunity to visit several Penn State locations and Pennsylvania businesses to learn how the University is making a difference. The bus will depart from University Park, and over the course of the three days, will visit Penn State campuses, Pennsylvania businesses and popular historic sites, and learn about the University and the state along the way. The tour itinerary includes visits to Penn State's Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, a private tour of the State Capitol Building, Hershey Foods Co., an Amish farm, Penn State Berks, Independence Mall and Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, Penn State Harrisburg, Marlboro Mushroom Farm, Harley-Davidson, Penn State York, Gettysburg National Military Park and Penn State Dickinson School of Law. Space on the tour is guaranteed to all faculty who have joined the University in the last two years, and faculty who are newly tenured, who have not previously been on a Road Scholars Tour. Others may sign up for this tour on a space-available basis. Contact Nancy Eckard at nzm1@outreach.psu.edu with any questions.
