GIS Day 2022

GIS Day is an annual event for students, staff, faculty, and the broader community to learn more about geographic information systems (GIS) and to celebrate the power of geospatial data, methods, and technologies for answering research questions and solving real-world problems.

Join us on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 for an in-person GIS Day program that will include:

• 11am – 12pm: A career panel featuring GIS professionals in academic, federal and local government, and private sector roles
• 12 – 1pm: An overview of the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program’s (OGRIP) resources and GIS support activities, presented by Executive Director Donovan Powers
• 1 – 2pm: A hands-on campus data collection activity using ArcGIS Field Maps, following a brief training session and demonstration (requires use of an Android or iOS mobile device)
• 2 – 3pm: A drone demonstration by Ohio State’s Facilities Information Technology Services enterprise GIS team (meet outside near the east entrance of the 18^th Avenue Library)

A light lunch will be served beginning at 12pm.
