| "The Tar Heel Bus Tour afforded me the opportunity to meet colleagues in other disciplines -- laying groundwork to share in teaching and research endeavors -- and to learn much about our state's economy, diversity (citizens and geography) and links to UNC-CH. At the end of a stimulating, interesting, motivating, and (yes) tiring week....I felt more like I 'belonged' in my new adopted state!" --DeeDee Boyington |

"The bus tour allowed me to accomplish in five days what I could never have done on my own even in five years. I gained close friends throughout departments and schools across the University, I developed a network of resources and service opportunities for my students both within the University and around the state, and I gained a deep appreciation for the diversity and depth of the state of North Carolina, which is reflected in my students and their backgrounds. I feel connected to the University, and North Carolina feels like home."--Pat Curtin |
| "The tour was perfect, in almost every possible way! Visiting a diverse range of sites for five eventful days with really interesting faculty members of different departments made me feel more a part of the state and the UNC faculty."--Prasun Dewan |

"The tour increased my awareness of issues facing the state of North Carolina. It educated me about the views of various groups involved in key issues facing the State."--Asad Khattak |
| "The bus tour was meaningful to me in a multitude of ways. As a relatively new Assistant Professor, there are not many opportunities to meet other faculty across campus who are both new and struggling with some of the same challenges. The bus tour created that opportunity and allowed the time to really create a bond."--Sandra Quinn |
