Â鶹´«Ã½ GIS Day Event
Â鶹´«Ã½ Celebrates GIS Day 2021
The Â鶹´«Ã½ GIS Day Organizing Committee and Earth and Environmental Sciences Department cordially invited students, faculty, staff, and GIS professionals from the Tri-State region and neighboring states to join us celebrate the GIS Day 2021, which took place in Multipurpose Room A of the Gilligan Student Union Building on the Â鶹´«Ã½ main campus.
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Like other organizations across the globe, we are taking part in these grassroots events celebrating geospatial sciences and their impacts on the real world. This year, Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s GIS Day event will showcase innovative applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology in a multi-disciplinary context. Since 1999, when GIS Day celebrations began to take place across the globe, the growth of location based technology has demonstrated how geography and the real-world applications of GIS are making a difference in business, government, the environment, and society.
Â鶹´«Ã½ GIS Day 2021 was a great opportunity to learn about our GIS and other related programs, attend or participate in presentations, showcase posters and equipment, and network with colleagues working on multi-disciplinary applications of GIS in the region. By taking a prominent part in this event, you are able to showcase your organizations, share your accomplishments, and inspire others to discover and use GIS.
The event consisted of oral presentations by a keynote speaker, Dr. Joseph Kerski from Esri and Â鶹´«Ã½ faculty as well as poster presentations for best poster awards and GIS exhibitions.
