Penn State GIS Day strives to bring together those who are working with GIS, geospatial technologies, remote sensing, maps, and location-based research on campus together to foster greater geospatial awareness on campus, within the community, and beyond. We encourage participation across disciplines to both new and experienced users of geospatial information. To see uses of geospatial technology across domains, participants are encouraged to view the Geospatial Revolution project, produced by WPSU Penn State, including their latest episode on Mapping the Pandemic.
Participants are also encouraged to attend the virtual programming of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) GIS Conference on November 12th, which promotes collaboration among BTAA institutions. The BTAA GIS conference virtual event includes presentations, lightning talks, map gallery, and social networking opportunities for individuals both from the BTAA institutions and beyond.
