(AP) The Penn State University faculty that gathered on Little Round Top, the famous hill near the south end of the Gettysburg battlefield, had little in common. Some were native Pennsylvanians, while others came from countries an ocean away. They represented disciplines from music to counseling psychology. But most were hired within the last year, and each accepted an invitation from the university president, Graham B. Spanier, to hop on a bus and learn more about both Pennsylvania and their university's role in the state.

Gettysburg on May 5 was the first stop on the "Road Scholars" trip, a three-day whirlwind tour meant to introduce about 80 new Penn State faculty and staff to the sprawling PSU system, from campuses to battlefields, from mushroom farms to steel mills aspects of the university many on the tour didn't know existed. "I knew a little bit about it, simply because I come to State College every once in a while for meetings with other librarians," said Anna Pilston, an assistant librarian at Penn State-Erie. "But I'd never heard of Cooperative Extension or the outreach programs. I knew there were a lot of other campuses, but I didn't know there were that many." Although most people think of the university as being the main campus in State College, more than 80,000 students attend Penn State's 24 campuses, including a law school in Carlisle, a medical school in Hershey, a graduate campus in suburban Philadelphia, a technology school in WilLiamsport and 19 other primarily undergraduate campuses. In Gettysburg, the faculty first viewed the electronic map show at the park's visitor center, then were given a tour of the battlefield by Carol Reardon and Bill Blair, historians in the university's Civil War Era Center, where researchers study everything from the architecture to leadership practices both good and bad observed in battle.

"As a center, we're trying to determine what this war meant to America, and how the America of the time influenced the war," said Blair, the center's director. "How were 19th century farms organized, and how did they plant their crops? What you find is that it was easy to move between rows of com back then because they were spaced differently than they are today. And it's not just the military implications we're looking for, but clues to how people lived their lives." From Gettysburg, the tour went to Penn State-Mont Alto, one of the university's earliest branch campuses, and then to Middletown to spend Sunday night in the new residence halls at Penn State-Harrisburg. Monday, the group toured the Capitol, where lawmakers talked about the appropriations process and how this year's budget shortfall might affect Penn State; visited an Amish farm in Lancaster County, where local Extension officials helped the family calculate how many dairy cattle they would need to pay the mortgage on their 74-acre farm; toured the Carpenter Technology plant in Reading, which employs more than 100 Penn State graduates and has a co-op program for Penn State metallurgical and materials science students; then stayed the night at Penn State-Berks in suburban Reading. Tuesday, it was off to Philadelphia for a tour of Independence Mall, Christ Church and Elfreth's Alley by Irwin Richman, a professor of history and American studies at Penn State- Harrisburg; then to the Marlboro Mushroom Farm in Chester County and the College of Medicine in Hershey.

"I didn't think I'd have that good a time," said Eric Ford, assistant professor of health policy. "I thought it would be interesting and there would be a lot of time on the bus, which there was, but the historians at Gettysburg and Philadelphia really added to it. The guy who gave us the tour of the steel mill was incredible he, too, seemed to have an understanding of Penn State and how it interacted with his broader world." Each time the group boarded the buses, Spanier and John Romano, vice provost and dean of enrollment management, served as general tour guides, talking about Penn State's history and answering questions. Ed Hintz, the chairman of Penn State's Board of Trustees, also was on the trip. Spanier "can occupy the time from State College to Gettysburg with questions and answers without even building up a bead of sweat," Romano said shortly after the buses hit die road.

"He's doing it rigty now on the other bus. That group's not going to rest easy." They would, come evening. Long hours on the road and lots of walking left participants weary as they returned to State College. But Ford said the trip was more than just informative. "The fact that the president of this university can take three days off to come be with junior faculty and staff really meant quite a lot," Ford said.
