Event Description
GIS Day is an international event that showcases applied uses of geographic information systems (GIS) being conducted at campuses, schools, government offices, and businesses. The goals of holding a GIS Day Event are to demonstrate to anyone interested the benefits of using GIS to address social and environmental issues as well as foster a community of GIS users and advocates.
Drexel University is holding a GIS Day Event this year with the sponsorship of the Drexel University GIS Users Group, School of Public Health, and University Libraries. The day’s events will include a morning of 15 minute presentations on GIS use in a variety of disciplines ranging from public health, ecology, computing and informatics, and environmental science. The presentations are geared toward a public audience and meant to inform the campus community of the potential uses of desktop and web GIS applications. The event is scheduled for 10 am – noon, Wednesday, November 18 in Nesbitt Hall.
