Penn State University Libraries will observe GIS Day, an annual event celebrating the technology of geographic information systems (GIS), on Nov. 16. This year's events focus on student success and career readiness via presentations, an alumni career panel, networking opportunities and a new geospatial showcase entitled GeoGallery.
This year's theme of "Mapping the Future: Powering Purpose and Innovation" aligns with the National Geography Awareness Week theme of Mapping the Future, along with the global GIS Day of Powering Purpose and Innovation. A new GIS Day Passport activity provides opportunities to reflect, connect and learn about resources.
All are welcome to attend, as both new and current users of geospatial information are encouraged to participate in activities. These events are free and open to the public. All submissions for participation should be completed by Nov. 5.
