GIS Day at Ohio State is an annual event for students, staff, faculty, and visitors to learn about the power of geovisualization techniques. This year's program features a "Lightning Lecture Lunch" with 10-minute talks on a wide variety of topics related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Speakers include faculty, staff, students, and representatives of government and industry groups. Food and snacks will be provided.
After the talks, exhibitors will be available for a GIS information fair from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. GIS profressionals from municipal, academic, and industry organizations will be available to speak with students about possible careers in GIS and the application of geographic technology in real-world scenarios. GIS Day is made possible by a partnership of CURA, University Libraries Research Commons, and the Enterprise GIS Initiative at Ohio State.
