In the run up to his formal inauguration Thursday as University of Massachusetts President, Marty Meehan plans to visit all five campuses in a single day.
Meehan will start out Monday morning at 7:30 on the campus of UMass Dartmouth, and end the day almost 12 hours later at UMass Boston, according to a schedule released by the president’s office.
Spokesman Bob Connolly said Meehan will visit classes, meet with students and faculty and tap into other facets of campus life.
" He is eager to get on the road and to experience the trip throughout the UMass system and to be on the campuses," said Connolly. " He is quite looking forward to it actually."
Connolly said the point of the five-campus-in-a-day visits is to underscore the UMass system’s mission which includes education, research and boosting the state’s economy.
At UMass Amherst, Meehan is scheduled to visit an engineering lab, a history class on the Civil Rights movement, and the Blue Wall dining facility in the Campus Center.
