On this annual two-day tour of Ohio, Ohio State faculty and staff have an
opportunity to see how their colleagues are engaged in making a difference
in the lives of Ohioans. On the tour, Roads Scholars learn about the
natural resources of the state, its people, communities and businesses.
The Roads
Scholars Tour visits approximately one-fourth of the state in two days.
During the tour, Roads Scholars visit a regional campus, an OSU Extension
office, a local high school, businesses, medical partners, arts centers, a
farm, and much more. They visit with community leaders, business
leaders, educators, high school students, current Ohio State students and
alumni. Roads Scholars see how their colleagues are engaging their
research, teaching and service with local communities. They hear from local
citizens about their work, concerns and interests. The tour is
designed for Ohio State's newly hired faculty, newly tenured faculty,
individuals in senior leadership positions and individuals giving lead to
outreach and engagement initiatives.
This
year's tour, hosted by Bob Moser, vice president, University Outreach, will
feature just a few of the many partnerships between Ohio State faculty and
communities and businesses in north central and northern Ohio.
