will be hosting an event in Bracken Library in the Schwartz Complex and Bracken
Library room 104 located just off the lobby from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Visitors can learn about GIS resources on campus, watch brief
presentations from faculty, students, and staff describing class and research
projects incorporating GIS methods, and view posters created by GIS users
around campus. A poster and presentation
competition will award prizes to participants showcasing their work.
Presentations begin at 11 through noon.
The poster competition begins at noon, and users can browse information
about GIS software and data resources on campus and participate in a question
and answer session with the GIS Knowledge Group at this time. More presentations will be held from 1 to 2
p.m.
Faculty, staff, and students interested in presenting one of the
five-minute overviews about class or research GIS projects can contact Angela
Gibson to reserve a block of time for the presentation at asgibson2@bsu.edu
GIS users wishing to create a GIS project poster for the competition
may print posters free of charge in the Cooper Science GIS lab. Contact Zaine Venter for information about
printing at zventer@bsu.edu
This event is free and open to the public. Anyone interested in GIS technology is
invited to participate, view the posters and presentations, and vote for the
best GIS projects. For more information,
