Robin Queen participated in the Michigan Road Scholars Program.  The Michigan Road Scholars Tour for faculty at the University of Michigan is a five-day traveling seminar on the State of Michigan. This educational tour exposes participants to the state’s economy, government and politics, culture, educational systems, health and social issues, history, and geography.

Designed to increase mutual knowledge and understanding between the university and the people and communities of the state,the tour introduces participants to the places the majority of our students call home, encourages university service to the public, and suggests ways faculty can help address state issues through research, scholarship and creative activity. In addition the experience is expected to develop beneficial ties and promote interdisciplinary discussion among the touring faculty.

This year’s tour visited sites in Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Leeland, Peshawbestown, Pellston, Sault St.  Marie and Kencheloe.
