Faculty members from the University of Iowa have embarked on a tour of the southeastern part of the state in an effort to learn more about areas outside of the Iowa City campus.
This week's trip is called Faculty Engage-ment Corps and it's the fifth annual trip to a different region of Iowa. This year's two-day tour started Wednesday and will take 16 faculty members to Fort Madison, Burlington and Columbus Junction. On Wednesday the group visited a Siemens Energy plant and met with community leaders in Burlington.
On Thursday they plan to visit schools in Columbus Junction and visit Southeastern Community College. The trips started in 2006 as part of the Year of Public Engagement.
