Once again, President Richard L. McCormick will lead the group on a bus across the state to get a five-day course in New Jersey’s history, economics, culture and government.

Applications are being accepted for the Rutgers Faculty Traveling Seminar’s fifth annual trek across the state of New Jersey, a unique opportunity to see firsthand the breadth and variety of New Jersey’s communities, to learn about the places your students come from, and to meet and interact with colleagues.

The five-day, four-night bus journey kicks off with an early morning departure from Piscataway on Monday, June 2, 2008, and returns to Piscataway on Friday afternoon, June 6.

Applications for the 2008 seminar will be accepted until Monday, February 4, 2008. The application only takes a minute and can be completed online.
