We would like to invite you, your staff, students, and faculty to our second webinar in a series about how geospatial professionals can engage with young people. GIS departments aren't getting enough applications for entry-level staff. Therefore, we are focusing on how we can build a grass-roots movement to introduce geospatial topics to young people to build the next generation of GIS leaders. Our webinars are free and open to the public. Are you sick and tired of explaining what GIS is? Our goal is that future generations won’t have that problem because all k-12 students will already know the power of geographic information systems. We believe it is a professional duty to contribute to educating the next generation of spatial critical thinkers.   Register for the webinar >>    ... View more
