On the road again

Participants in the 2016 Road Scholars tour learn about boatbuilding at the Great Lakes Boat Building School in Cedarville, during a stop on the annual weeklong bus trip. The school works to keep the art and craft of wooden boat building alive, and trains students to work in modern boat-building shops. Twenty-seven U-M faculty members and a graduate student from UM-Flint visited several Michigan communities May 2-6. The tour is designed to familiarize U-M faculty and staff with places the majority of students call home, encourage university service to the public, and suggest ways faculty can help address state and local issues.
