Everything happens somewhere. Geospatial technology can help us see pattern, solve problems, and communicate complex information. GIS Day is a day to celebrate geographic information systems (GIS) and how the technology helps us understand our world. This year, GIS Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 18. Come to the GRMC (2nd floor) in Bracken Library between 10 am – 4pm to explore over 50 GIS applications that demonstrate how professional organizations are using GIS and sharing that work.
Whether you already use GIS to enhance your academic work or have no idea what GIS is or how it is used, this is a great opportunity to learn about the wide range of applications this technology supports. Explore examples of GIS focused on art, biology, conservation, criminal justice, ecology, economic development, geoscience, local to federal governments, history, journalism, ornithology, public health, transportation, and urban planning.
Bring your curiosity and questions. Enjoy some refreshments and inspiration. Connect with the GIS Specialist to learn how you can use GIS technologies to enhance your work. Enter a raffle to win a prize.
This is a free event for faculty, staff, and students. To learn more about GIS and how the technology has been used at Ball State, read this ArcGIS StoryMap at
